STM Metro Map
Composed of four underground transit lines, as illustrated on the STM Metro Map, just click on a metro station for the first and last service stops, bus route information and the history of the metro station itself.
STM Trip Planner
If you've never used Montreal's public transit system before and need help getting from point A to point B, type in your departure address and destination address (or intersection) using the STM's Tous Azimuts service. It will propose three possible trip itineraries. You can also consult the following series of STM maps.
Metro Turnstiles
Using the metro turnstiles is relatively straightforward. With an OPUS card, simply place the card on top part of the turnstile that looks identical to the OPUS card but bigger (don't try to insert it anywhere). A light above the OPUS plate will turn green and beep. Remove the OPUS card from the plate and pass through the deactivated barrier.
With a magnetized paper pass, simply pass it through the slit on top of the turnstile, which should then beep, indicating the barrier is deactivated.
If a magnetized pass is demagnetized but still valid, use the turnstile to the far right, beside the STM employee booth. Show your valid pass to the STM employee and they should let you through. Some demagnetized passes can be exchanged for fresh ones at the Berri-UQAM metro station. Ask the employee if your particular pass applies to the rule.
For more information on the STM and Montreal's public transit network, consult the STM website.
