We bet you can’t guess who showed up in the Spirit Tunnel, dancing and throwing down a few moves. Alright, maybe you can. Yes, it’s the one and only beatboxer we’ve all come to love, and yes, he’s Nigerian too. A proud one at that. We’re talking about KevinOlusola.
The Pentatonix beatboxer made quite the entrance in an all-black ensemble: leather jacket, t-shirt, trousers and trainers. He tied it all together with a silver necklace and his signature mohawk. But let’s not get too carried away with his outfit. What really caught our attention was the way he danced through the tunnel, light-hearted, joyful and full of life.
Kevin was all smiles as he stepped in, cheered on by a lively group who clapped and sang a sweet melody. He moved effortlessly to the rhythm, giving out high-fives to some of the cheerleaders and snapping his fingers in time with the music. It was one of those moments that just made you smile.
And if that wasn’t enough, his chat with Jennifer Hudson was just as engaging. He shared how he was recruited into an a cappella group while casually singing in the shower — can you believe that? He spoke openly about embracing his inner misfit, touched on his new album and treated the audience to an impressive performance that brought together the cello and beatboxing in a way only Kevin could pull off.

And now there's data to back it up.</p><p>A new report from Quebec's <a href="https://www.transports.gouv.qc.ca/en/Pages/Home.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable</a> reveals that over 30 <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/tag/stm-montreal" target="_blank">STM</a> metro stations are currently considered in poor or very poor condition. That includes 26 stations rated "D" (bad shape) and five rated "E" (very bad shape) — the lowest possible score.</p><p>The findings come from the <a href="https://cdn-contenu.quebec.ca/cdn-contenu/adm/min/secretariat-du-conseil-du-tresor/publications-adm/budgets/2025-2026/8_Plans_annuels_gestion_investissements.pdf" target="_blank">2025–2026 public infrastructure investment plan</a> and mark a sharp rise compared to previous years. For example, in 2024, only nine stations were flagged as being in worrying condition, but a new assessment method revealed much more widespread deterioration.</p><p>According to data obtained by MTL Blog, the STM also indicates that 40% of metro assets are currently in poor or very poor condition (grades D and E), and that 36% of tunnels also show significant signs of deterioration. Despite this, the STM insists the network remains safe, though it admits the degradation is impacting service reliability and could lead to more unplanned closures, like the recent shutdown at Saint-Michel.</p><p>Here are the stations currently ranked D (poor condition):</p><p><strong>Green Line:</strong><br/> Angrignon, LaSalle, Place-des-Arts, Papineau, Frontenac, Cadillac</p><p><strong>Orange Line:</strong><br/> Côte-Vertu, Plamondon, Côte-Sainte-Catherine, Villa-Maria, Lucien-L’Allier, Square-Victoria–OACI, Place-d’Armes, Sherbrooke, Jean-Talon, Sauvé, Henri-Bourassa</p><p><strong>Blue Line:</strong><br/> Snowdon, Jean-Talon, Côte-des-Neiges, Université-de-Montréal, Édouard-Montpetit, Acadie, Parc, D’Iberville</p><p><strong>Yellow Line:</strong><br/> Jean-Drapeau, Longueuil–Université-de-Sherbrooke</p><p>And here are the five stations ranked E (very poor condition):</p><ul><li> De l’Église</li><li>Peel</li><li>Champ-de-Mars</li><li>Fabre</li><li>Saint-Michel</li></ul><p>The STM, which published a <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/stm-montreal-safety" target="_blank">February memo that cited a sharp rise in disorder, drug use, and safety concerns</a>, says repairs are coming, but warns that passengers can expect more disruptions ahead.</p><p><em>Love this?
