The 747 is decent. It's convenient for me since I work near Lionel-Groulx and I'm a monthly Opus card holder, so it's free to use.

However, it was never intended as anything more than a stopgap measure until the (near-mythical) express train was built. It's not a transit option worthy of a major international hub. And it's representative of how Montreal has trouble getting anything built without running into decades of delays, squabbling, cost overruns, and mafia involvement.

Post-747 better than pre-747. But still not good enough. We need a proper rail link.
