Montreal Metro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16) |
 | | The Metro, operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM), was inaugurated on October 14, 1966, during the tenure of Mayor Jean Drapeau. |
 | | Line 5 was then extended to Parc (June 1987), Acadie (March 1988), and the existing Snowdon station on Line 2 (January 1988). |
 | | Along with the Stockholm Metro, Montreal pioneered the installation of public art in the metro among capitalist countries, a practice that before hand was mostly found in Socialist and Communist nations (the Moscow Metro being a case in point). |
