[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by oltmannd I think Mexico City has rubber tired subways, too. I've always found the Montreal subways very noisy and never thought the ride was any better than any steel-wheel subway I've ridden. Never understood the reason for using rubber tires. [/quote] I would guess they expected to spend a lot replacing tires vs. a lot less maintainence to the surface they run on but I wonder how that's actually worked out over time. There is noise from the tires, but it's a lot less intense than a Chicago train going around a curve. Of course who knows how well the CTA maintains the flange greasers. We've been up there a number of times for the Canadien F1 race held out on the Island where the Expo was originally held and used the Metro to go there and all over the city at all hours of the day & night. My wife could never figure out how they can have more restaurants per capita than any other North American city, yet all the people seem to be slim.
