Montreal's Transportation System
The city of Montreal has one of the most efficient, clean, and modern transportation systems in the world.
- The underground metro (subway system) services the greater area of Montreal and operates every 3 to 7 minutes from 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. every day of the year. It is considered by international standards to be among the safest and cleanest underground systems in the world.
- Hundreds of bus lines service the island of Montreal. Depending on the route, buses operate every 5 to 30 minutes, and buses connect to all trains and metros.
- Five separate train lines also service the island of Montreal and are especially convenient for people living in the suburbs. They operate on a regular basis and cost marginally more for a monthly pass.
- Montreal's transit system is among the most reasonably priced in North America. Monthly, daily, tourist 3-day, and weekly transit passes allow unlimited use of buses and metros.
