This is cute. Do I have to slide my Carte Charles again at Honoré- Beauregard, or is it one fare all the way to Spadina?

I believe that's a cross-platform transfer, so you should be good.

I think you have to pay another fare when you pass through the language barrier.

Personally, my favorites were the connection between Cleveland Circle and Cleveland, and the "Ashmont-Manhattan High Speed Line".

Couldn't you just imagine going from New Lots Avenue to Alewife via Philadelphia, Baltimore, Atlanta, Santo Domingo, San Juan, Manhattan (again), and then finally Boston? A journey like that would take weeks!
