Montreal's Metro is back up and running after an equipment failure caused a complete shutdown on February 10.

The shutdown began shortly before 11:15 a.m., with the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) confirming in an email the system was back up and running by 12:15 p.m.

In an email to CBC, STM spokesperson Renaud Martel-Théorêt said service was disrupted due to "a failure in the communication system between the trains and the control room, likely caused by ongoing work at Berri-UQAM station."

An investigation, however, is underway to determine the cause.
