- Line 4 Yellow (Montreal Metro)
The Yellow (Line 4) line is one of the metro's four routes operating in
Montreal ,Quebec ,Canada . It was popular when it opened for service because it connected Montreal's city centre with theExpo 67 exhibition and La Ronde on Île-Sainte-Hélène. Line 4 has three stations, and travels under the St. Lawrence River between the island of Montreal and Longueuil. Line 4 was part of the initial network of the metro, and numbered in conjunction with Line 3, a route that was later cancelled. It is also the first metro line to leave the island. All three stations on the line have been renamed since their opening.List of stations
