HOW TO NAVIGATE THE SITE

From the main menu, you have access to several general pages about the Montreal metro, as well as to the metrodemontreal.com message board (in French). These pages are available both from the main front page and from the navigation bar at the bottom.

Any page without this navigation bar will have a Main Menu button, which you can click to return here, as well as a Français button you can click to view the current page in French.

This site provides individual information about each of Montreal's 65 metro stations. To find the station you are looking for, you can choose any one of several methods in the "Stations" sections at the bottom of the main page:

  • Drop-down menu, offering quick access to each station - select the station you want and click on the arrow;
  • Line buttons, offering you access to the main page for each line, which has detailed information and a clickable map;
  • Station Index, which lists the stations both in geographical order on each line (Angrignon – Honoré-Beaugrand, Côte-Vertu - Henri-Bourassa, Berri-UQAM - Longueuil, Snowdon - Saint-Michel), and in alphabetical order (Acadie - Villa-Maria);
  • System Map, a clickable map of the STM's metro network;
  • Architectural Overview, featuring a photo and brief summary for each station;
  • Matt's Rating, in which the stations are rated for architectural merit; and
  • Index by Landmarks, containing a list of Montreal landmarks cross-referenced to the stations that serve them.
You will find two other sections accessible from this section of the page:
  • Art in the metro, with detailed information on each artist and artwork in the metro, cross-referenced to the station pages; and
  • Auxiliary installations, with information on STM installations other than stations, such as tunnels, garages, etc.
