Just south of the station on Berri Street, is the Canadian National railway line, which carries the Réseau de transport métropolitain's (RTM) Mascouche commuter and Via Rail intercity trains. The Sauvé commuter rail station is connected to these corridors, and replaces the nearby Via Rail Ahuntsic station.

Overview

edit

The Metro station, designed by Adalbert Niklewicz, is a normal side platform station, built in tunnel. A single mezzanine connects entrances on either side of Sauvé Street.

In 2022, the STM's Universal Accessibility Report noted that preliminary design work to make the station accessible was underway.[5]

Origin of the name

edit

This station is named for Sauvé Street, named in 1912 for a landowner whose property the street crossed.

Sauvé station is a commuter rail station operated by Exo.

It is served by the Mascouche line and by VIA Rail's Montreal–Jonquière and Montreal–Senneterre trains.[8] VIA service was moved to Sauvé from the now-closed Ahuntsic station some 500 metres east of the station (not to be confused with the present-day Ahuntsic commuter train station, to the west).

It is one of five stations in the Exo system with a connection to the Montreal Metro, and is the only such intermodal station besides Gare Centrale/Bonaventure to be served by intercity rail.
