I don't see anything in that article that suggests Montreal is considering converting to steel-wheel. All the bid documents for the new Metro vehicles specify rubber tires, and I've seen no indication from either STM or AMT that they are considering steel-wheel.While Toronto is planning to convert the Scarborough Rapid Transit to light rail, Montréal is thinking about converting their rubber-wheeled Metro to steel-wheel.
The steel-wheel seems entirely a fiction developed by a washed-up consultant - Glen Fisher - to extract money from Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Co as their "agent".
