Service on the Green line of the Montreal Metro was halted on Thursday evening after emergency services responded to an incident, and the line resumed operation later that night. The Société de transport de Montréal (STM) confirmed the emergency response required an immediate shutdown of the line, which is one of the four routes that make up the city’s rapid transit network.
Emergency crews arrived at the affected area and took control of the situation, prompting the temporary suspension of all Green line trains. The STM worked in coordination with the responders to ensure passenger safety and to assess the conditions needed before service could be reinstated. While the line was offline, commuters were advised to seek alternative transportation options, though specific guidance was not detailed in the available information.
After the emergency services completed their intervention, the STM announced that the Green line would be back in service. Trains began running again later on Thursday, restoring regular service for riders traveling across the route. The agency did not release further details about the nature of the incident or any lasting impact on the line’s schedule.
The Green line, serving numerous neighborhoods across Montreal, is a vital component of the city’s public transportation system. The brief interruption highlighted the coordination between the STM and municipal emergency responders when unforeseen events occur on the network. No injuries or casualties were reported in connection with the shutdown, and the line’s operations returned to normal without further incident.
The STM thanked emergency personnel for their prompt action and reminded passengers that safety remains the top priority during any unexpected disruptions to service.
