Line 5 Blue (Montreal Metro)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Blue (Line 5) line is one of the four lines of the metro in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It was the fourth to be built, notwithstanding its name. Line 3 was planned, but never built. Unlike the other three routes, Line 5 does not serve the city's main transit terminal at Berri-UQAM.
