Crémazie

My apartment is exactly halfway between the Jarry and Crémazie metro stops. I can go to either one and it will make no difference, in terms of walking time, to my day. The advantage of going to the Crémazie stop is that it is north of Jarry. By getting on at Crémazie I, in essence, cut in front of all those getting on at Jarry.

Crémazie has the big snowflake sculpture on the wall. In another blog I documented the way that sculpture and the metro maps dovetail with each other: Cremazie Metro Maps

I am wondering, like I did with other stops such as Laurier before, if you can tell the difference between a Jarry and a Crémazie metro rider before they get off?

A Crémazie rider will be more a cosmopolitan beast than a Jarry rider. The reason for this is that the former stop is situated such that it spans, underground, the elevated freeway #40. There are park & ride people getting off and there are people who work in the bank, government and private sector offices that line the freeway.

Contrast that to Jarry, a few blocks south, and you are in the quiet old neighbourhood of Villeray where families live in peace and quiet.
