Montreal metro lines down to start the day [Video]

Montreal metro riders wiping the sleep from their eyes had to wait longer than expected on platforms across the city to start their commutes on Thursday morning after a “electrical issue” followed by an “incident” delayed trains starting by just over a half hour.

The green, orange, yellow and blue lines all reported that service was interrupted shortly after 5:15 a.m.

“We have had a server failure linked to the power supply control system,” said STM spokesperson Isabelle A. Tremblay.

Trains on the metro begin running at 5:30 a.m. on weekdays. On Thursday, they began at around 6:10 a.m.
