On its website, the STM says three out of the four métro lines — Orange, Blue and Yellow — now have full cellphone coverage.

Only 12 out of 68 stations remain to be served: the Green Line east of Viau station, and between Angrignon and Lionel-Groulx stations on the western side of the same line.

The STM said the eastern part of the Green Line will be completed by the end of the year, while the western side is to be done by the beginning of next year.

The Big Four cellular providers — Rogers, Telus, Bell and Vidéotron — have invested $50 million to build the 4G LTE network. They pay the STM an annual fee to access the network, and they pay rent for the space they take up.
