Côte-Vertu is a station on the Montreal Metro Orange Line, located in the borough of Saint-Laurent.

Inaugurated on November 3, 1986, it is the most recent station to have been built on the orange line, and has served as the western terminus since that date, having taken over from Du Collège station.

It was originally intended as a temporary terminus, to be followed by an extension to the Bois-Franc commuter train station; however, this never took place.

The station is a normal side-platform station with one transept and mezzanine and three entrances.

As this station is the terminus for several bus routes, including STL and AMT buses, a new bus terminal around the northern entrance was completed in 2005.

The station was designed by the architectural firms of Jodoin, Lamarre, Pratte, & Co and Cayouette & Saia. It contains two artworks: a set of two mural sculptures by Yves Trudeau in the transept, entitled Relief, négatif positif, and a mural by Éric Lamontagne in the new bus terminus, entitled L'Homo urbanus.

Origin of name

This station is named for the boulevard de la Côte-Vertu. The area through which the street runs has been known as Notre-Dame-de-Vertu, Notre-Dame-de-la-Vertu, or Notre-Dame-des-Vertus (Our Lady of Virtue) since at least 1700.
