About STM
The Société de transport de Montréal, or STM, runs the city's buses and metro. The metro is known for its rubber-tired trains and for stations filled with public art, from stained glass to murals and sculptures, with each station designed to have its own look.
The STM suits everyone, from students and commuters to visitors who want to explore without a car. A fun tip: plan a slow metro ride just to look at the art in stations like Berri-UQAM, Champ-de-Mars or Peel. In winter, the metro also links to the underground city, a warm way to move around downtown.
