 | | The Metro, operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM), was inaugurated on October 14, 1966, during the tenure of Mayor Jean Drapeau. |
 | | The metro system serves 284 million riders a year, and according to the STM website, as of 2006, over 6 billion people have used the metro system, which is equivalent to the world's population. |
 | | 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). |
