Montpellier station (RTM)


Montpellier was a commuter rail station operated by Exo in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
It was served by the Deux-Montagnes line until 2020 and will be served by Réseau express métropolitain beginning in 2022.

Origin of name

Prior to the modernization of the Deux-Montagnes line, between 1993 and 1995, the station was called Vertu because of its location on Côte-Vertu Boulevard. One of the reasons the name was changed, was to avoid confusion with the metro station which opened in 1986. The current name Montpellier, comes from the name of a nearby street and shopping mall. The name of the street probably refers to Montpellier in France. The station was also supposed to be renamed to Saint-Laurent but wasn't, in order to avoid confusion with the Saint-Laurent station.

Location

The station is located at 465 Côte-Vertu Boulevard in Saint-Laurent between the intersections of Côte-Vertu/Jules-Poitras Boul. and of Côte-Vertu/Muir St.
