exo - Réseau de transport métropolitain provides commuter train and bus service in the Greater Montreal Region. The exo network includes six train lines, 237 bus routes, 52 taxibus routes, and paratransit service. In 2017, the system's ridership was approximately 45 million.
History
The Réseau de transport métropolitain (RTM) succeeded the Agence métropolitaine de transport (AMT) on June 1, 2017. Its creation also merged 14 existing public transportation entities into one organization. The Government of Quebec passed Bill 76 on May 18, 2016—changing the organization and governance of public transit in the region. The bill established two bodies: the RTM and the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain (ARTM), which is tasked with planning and coordination.[3]
On May 23, 2018, the Réseau de transport métropolitain was rebranded as exo. Derived from the prefix meaning "outer", it references the outer territories of Greater Montréal where the majority of their customers live.[4]
