Montpellier was a commuter rail station operated by Exo in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
It was served by the Deux-Montagnes line until 2020 and will be served by Réseau express métropolitain beginning in 2022.
Origin of name
Prior to the modernization of the Deux-Montagnes line, between 1993 and 1995, the station was called Vertu because of its location on Côte-Vertu Boulevard. One of the reasons the name was changed, was to avoid confusion with the Côte-Vertu metro station which opened in 1986. The current name Montpellier, comes from the name of a nearby street and shopping mall. The name of the street probably refers to Montpellier in France. The station was also supposed to be renamed to Saint-Laurent but wasn't, in order to avoid confusion with the Saint-Laurent station.
Location
The station is located at 465 Côte-Vertu Boulevard in Saint-Laurent between the intersections of Côte-Vertu/Jules-Poitras Boul. and of Côte-Vertu/Muir St.
