(CTM) during the initial planning for the Montreal Metro in 1953, and in 1970 the Communauté urbaine de Montréal (CUM) proposed an extension of the Green Line to Montréal-Nord. In September 1983, the Bureau des Transports de Montréal (BTM) proposed a new north-south Line 7 consisting of ten stations, from Pie-IX to Léger, under Boulevard Pie-IX, through Saint-Léonard and north-east towards Rivière-des-Prairies. A year later, at the start of 1984, it was formally proposed by the Communauté urbaine de Montréal (CUM), with 12 stations (from Pie-IX to Maurice-Duplessis/Langelier).
For nearly a decade during the 1980s and 1990s, the line appeared on all official Métro maps, coloured white, so it received the unofficial nickname of "White line". Other nicknames include "Pie-IX line".
The Métro system has another projected subway line, Line 6, whose number was reserved for a surface line proposed by the Ministère des Transports du Québec (MTQ) along the northern shore of the island, but it was never shown on a system map."Le Métro fait surface: La ligne 6".
