THE MONTREAL METRO

The Metro is Montreal's underground transportation system.

It is ones one of the busiest transit systems in North America transporting 1.2 million passengers each day.

Because of Montreal's severe winters and the system's unusual design, the system is entirely underground.

Many stations connect with Montreal‘s bus, commuter rail lines and underground city.

The system opened in 1966. The system has four color-coded lines and 68 stations.
