It is currently working to bring cellular connectivity to the stations and tunnels between Cadillac and Honoré-Beaugrand and from Lionel-Groulx to Angrignon.
The STM connectivity project debuted in 2014 to connect 71km of tracks and 68 metro stations. It included a $50 million CAD investment from Telus, Rogers, Bell and Videotron.
STM has said that it is only planning to offer cellular connectivity and not Wi-Fi.
