Montreal Suburban Service

CPR operated Montreal commuter service from the 1890's including the Montreal-Rigaud line until September 30, 1982 following which a local government body was created, the Montreal Urban Community Transit Commission (MUCTC).
It later became the Societe de transport de la Communaute urbaine de Montreal (STCUM) which lasted until June 3, 1996 then becoming Agence Metropolitaine de Transport (AMT) continuing to date.
