Orange Line (Montreal Metro)
The Orange Line (French: Ligne orange), also known as Line 2 (French: Ligne 2), is the longest, most congested, and first-planned of the four lines of the Montreal Metro, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It formed part of the initial network, and was extended from 1980 to 1986. On April 28, 2007, three new stations in Laval opened; this is the second line to leave Montreal Island.
The Orange line measures 30 kilometres (19 mi) in length and counts 31 stations. Like the rest of the Metro network, it is entirely underground. The line runs in a U-shape from Côte-Vertu metro station in northwestern Montreal to Montmorency metro station in Laval, northeast of Montreal.

Famous quotes containing the words orange and/or line:
“A hook shot kisses the rim and
hangs there, helplessly, but doesn’t drop
and for once our gangly starting center
boxes out his man and times his jump
perfectly, gathering the orange leather
from the air like a cherished possession”
—Edward Hirsch (b. 1950)
“A line will take us hours maybe;
Yet if it does not seem a moment’s thought,
Our stitching and unstitching has been naught.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
