The Montreal Metro Map

The public transport of Montreal has existed for more than 150 years. The first trams started operating in 1861 and stopped in 1959. In 1919, the first buses appeared on the streets. In 1966, the metro was commissioned for operation.  Through all these years the Montreal Transit Corporation (STM) has been conducting the transportation of Montreal (The Société de transport de Montréal).

Now the company is still at the service, looking for the buses and the rapid rail system.  The only authority allows the passenger to change the transport vehicles during one ticket ride up to three times. It means that buying one ride ticket you may change bus for the metro and then again take the bus, without buying additional tickets.
