據報道，加拿大蒙特利爾交通局擬投入約160億加幣為管轄的公共交通站點在未來十年內提供足夠的基礎設施建設，其中主要部分在于電梯及扶梯設備的安裝和更新。有信源稱此舉是“1960年代地鐵開通以來最大的一項工程”，其中包括在2025年結束前把有電梯的站點從15個增加到41個。為了達到這個目標，目前已經在11個站點開展了電梯的安裝工作，這樣的效率是前所未有的。與“在飛機滿載乘客起飛后才修理飛機”這樣的工作相比，加拿大蒙特利爾交通局負責人稱加裝電梯的同時，還會對部分站點進行大改造，并且除了加裝新電梯以外，還計劃更新293臺自動扶梯。

VT PART OF LARGEST MonTREAL TRANSIT INVESTMENT SINCE 1960s

New vertical-transportation (VT) equipment is a key part of approximately CAD16 billion in infrastructure underway over the next 10 years at stations of the Société de Transport de Montréal (STM) public transport agency in Montreal, Canada, the Montreal Gazette reports. What the source describes as the "largest phase of development since the metro opened in the 1960s" includes bringing the number of elevator-accessible stations from 15 to 41 by 2025. Toward that goal, elevator installation is underway at an unprecedented 11 stations. Comparing the work to "repairing a plane when it's in full flight with passengers onboard," STM CEO Luc Tremblay says adding elevators involves major reconstruction of some stations. In addition to elevators, STM is upgrading or replacing its 293 escalators.
