The Montréal Métro was built as recently as the 1960s, so you are entitled to expect that it will be fairly modern. It is – and also it’s clean, quick and inexpensive, if sometimes a little crowded when we travelled (despite appearances in the main photo). Montréal has, sensibly, followed the trend toward linking travel on both the Métro and the bus system, so one ticket can be used on either system. We purchased three day tickets which, as can be seen in photo 2, are in the form of ‘scratch’ tickets from a Métro station. When we visited, the cost for these tickets was $9 for one day, $17 for three days, and they provide unlimited travel in that period. This photo also shows a map of the system, which follows the Paris Métro practice of each line being represented by a colour and the direction identified by the station at the end. Photos 3 and 4 show another Métro station and one of the city’s buses. Theme: Subway/Metro

The metro is Montreal is extremely convenient, seemed to be very efficient, and easy to decipher. There are a few lines, and I think you can go around the entire city in basically a square (changing trains here or there). The easiest and cheapest way to get around!

I was truly impressed by Montreal's public transportation. The metro is amazingly well kept and well set up! There is only 6 or 7 lines which makes it easy to learn how to utilize it. If the metro won't get you where you want to go, the bus definetly will. Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro

We like to walk so we didn't take the metro much but we did ride it a couple of times in order to get to the Island of Ste. Helene and back. We bought a 6 ticket strip for $11.50 CA, a savings over the individual price of $2.50 per ride. Since they come in a strip of tickets you can use for up to 6 people. The metro was clean and fast and easy to use. To get out of the Metro, follow the signs that say "Sortie" (French for exit). To locate the metro stations, look for the blue signs with the arrow pointing down. Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro

Montréal's Métro is one of the safest around. It is very clean. And everyone takes it. It's even an art experience! Even before the beginning of its construction in the early 60s, Montréal’s metro was promised to have a style of its own: Every station was to be conceived by a distinct architect. Instead of travelling on a system where all stations are alike. Montrealers would commute in a system where every station is unique and decorated with artworks. In fact, initiators of the project, leaded by mayor Jean Drapeau, insisted that art be integrated to stations. Thenceforth, the population of Montréal came into contact with an aspect of our culture that was until then only seen in museums. The fare is not expensive if you know how to make it work for you. There is a tourist Card that sells for $8.00 / 1 day or $16.00 / 3 days. You can also pay $2.50 cash each time or $11.25 for a six-ticket strip. What I recommend, if you are to stay more than a day, is the Weekly Pass called "CAM hebdo" $18.00 for a whole week, but only from Monday to Sunday. Otherwise, there is the Monthly Pass called "CAM", $61.00. For reduced fares look on their web site to see if you are eligible. If you are to take the bus afterwards, take a transfer at the station at which you enter. You can also enter the metro with your bus transfer.
