Montreal Metro Map

Introduction to the Montreal Metro

The Montreal Metro is a rapid transit system serving Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It consists of four operational lines (Green Line, Orange Line, Yellow Line, and Blue Line), with additional lines under planning. The system began operation in 1966 and is the third busiest rapid transit system in North America, after New York City and Mexico City. As of 2023, the operational network spans approximately 71 kilometers with 68 stations, serving about 1.3 million passengers daily.

Montreal Metro Line Overview

Montreal Metro Line Details

Summary Table of Montreal Metro Line Information

The following is a summary table of the Montreal Metro (Métro de Montréal) line information, compiled based on official data and authoritative sources:

Key Data Notes:

1. Line Type: The Montreal Metro is one of the few heavy rail networks in the world that uses a rubber-tyred metro system, where trains run on rubber tires on concrete tracks, differing from traditional steel-wheel-on-steel-rail systems. This technology, derived from the Paris Metro, offers low noise and high acceleration performance.

2. Length and Stations:

   • Green Line (Line 1): Connects eastern and southwestern Montreal, with a total length of 26.5 km and 24 stations. It was extended to Honoré-Beaugrand for the 1976 Olympics and further west to Angrignon in 1978.
   • Orange Line (Line 2): The longest line in the system, spanning 30 km with 31 stations. In 2007, it was extended north to Laval, adding 3 stations (Montmorency, De la Concorde, Cartier), becoming a vital link between Montreal Island and the North Shore.
   • Yellow Line (Line 4): The shortest line, only 4.25 km long with 3 stations, connecting downtown Berri-UQAM station with Longueuil on the South Shore. It is the only metro line crossing the Saint Lawrence River.
   • Blue Line (Line 5): Opened in 1986, it spans 9.53 km with 12 stations, serving the northern Saint-Michel area and central Snowdon area. Future plans include an extension to the Anjou area (scheduled for completion in 2026).

3. Ridership:

   • Total System Ridership: Data from 2023 shows that the Montreal Metro serves approximately 1.3 million passengers daily, making it one of the busiest metro systems in North America.
   • Line-Specific Data:
   • Orange Line: The busiest line, accounting for 38% of the system's total ridership. During peak hours, trains run every 2 minutes, and some stations (e.g., Berri-UQAM, Mont-Royal) often experience crowding.
   • Green Line: Connects commercial centers with residential areas, with a daily ridership of about 350,000, accounting for 27% of the system.
   • Blue Line: Serves high-density residential areas, with a daily ridership of about 150,000, accounting for 12% of the system.
   • Yellow Line: Primarily serves cross-river commuters, with a daily ridership of about 50,000, accounting for 4% of the system.

Operational Features and Expansion Plans:

1. Operational Efficiency:

   • Headways: 2-3 minutes during peak hours, 5-10 minutes during off-peak hours, with night service until 1:30 AM.
   • Train Speed: Maximum speed of 80 km/h, with an average travel speed of about 30 km/h.

2. Future Expansions:

   • Orange Line Extension: Plans to extend 6.4 km northeast to Bois-Franc station, adding 5 new stations. Expected completion in 2030 to alleviate North Shore traffic pressure.
   • Blue Line Expansion: A 5.8 km underground extension (scheduled to open in 2026) will add 5 new stations, connecting the Anjou area with the existing line and expected to increase daily ridership by 17,000.
