The Société de transport de Montréal or Montreal Transit Corporation is the agency that operates buses and the Métro in the Urban agglomeration of Montreal, Québec.

History

The Société de transport de la communauté urbaine de Montréal (STCUM) was renamed the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) in 2002. The name change occurred to reflect the merger of the 28 municipalities on the Island of Montreal into one 'mega-city' called Montreal. However, several of these municipalities have since left the mega-city and are now independent towns, but continue to contract with the STM to provide transit service. Funding for the contracted service, is payed by the de-merged municipalities through taxes to what remains of the mega-city of Montreal.

Métro network

Main article: Montréal Métro

The Montreal Métro was introduced in 1966 in preparation for Canada's 100th birthday and Expo 67 in Montreal, the second such system in Canada. Instead of traditional steel-wheeled trains, it is a rubber-tired metro, based on technology developed for the Paris Métro; Montreal's system was the first in the world to be entirely rubber-tired.
