The Montreal metro is breaking its curfew this weekend for Nuit Blanche, courtesy of the Société de transport de Montréal. No need to race against the clock or worry about missing the last train the metro will be running all night long so you can explore your pick of 100+ activities taking place across the city from dusk to dawn. Paratransit and bus services will also extend into the early hours of the morning.
Montreal's STM is at it again, and this time they're playing Cupid with the metro map. The Société de transport de Montréal has slapped a fresh coat of love-themed puns on station signs, just in time for Valentine's Day. Whether you're a cynic or a sap, you can't help but crack a smile or roll your eyes.
The STM has an online boutique with loads of Montreal Metro-themed items including clothings, home decor, office supplies and random knick knacks that brilliantly encompass the Montreal transit system.
Montreal's metro is the unsung hero of nights out, dinner dates, and after-hours gigs. It connects neighbourhoods, powers commerce, and facilitates the daily commutes of nearly a million people every day. Yet, the vital artery of urban life is facing a potential reduction in service hours from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., a move driven by the deepening funding crisis of the Société de transport de Montréal (STM).
That sinking feeling of missing a bus and enduring a seemingly endless wait is all too familiar. But Montreal's STM is looking to remedy that frustration with more frequent bus lines. New routes will operate with a predictability more associated with the metro than buses. The wait between buses on frequent lines will last between two and 12 minutes. For the average commuter, that means a shift away from strict travel plans and toward a more flexible approach.
