Longueuil—Université-de-Sherbrooke is a station at the southern terminus of the Yellow Line of the Montreal Metro rapid transit system, operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM). It is located in the city of Longueuil, Quebec, Canada [ [http://www.stm.info/English/metro/a-m44.htm Longueuil—Université-de-Sherbrooke Metro Station] ] .

Origin of name

The station was originally called Longueuil, after the city where it is located. It was renamed Longueuil–Université-de-Sherbrooke on September 26, 2003, to reflect the fact that the Université de Sherbrooke has a campus nearby. (Each Montreal-area university has its name in the nearest metro station.) Nevertheless, most Montrealers still use the station's original name when referring to this station.
