Postsecondary institutions benefit from transit changes

Two transit systems have recently introduced new station names and lines that will better connect postsecondary institutions to their respective cities. In Montréal, a new line and a new station on the Réseau express métropolitain (REM) have better connected McGill University and the Université de Montréal to the rest of the city. Nouvelles d’Ici reports that the new line makes it possible to travel from Île-des-Sœurs to McGill or the new station on UMontréal’s main campus in less than 15 minutes. In Toronto, the subway station at Dundas and Yonge will now be named TMU Station, increasing Toronto Metropolitan University’s visibility in the city transit system.
