How Montreal's metro network is laid out
Montreal’s métro has four lines: Line 1 (Green), Line 2 (Orange), Line 4 (Yellow) and Line 5 (Blue). The line numbers skip from 2 to 4 because those are the line names used on the network.
The STM’s official métro map shows stations on each line and transfer points to REM and exo trains. For a wider view, its Montréal network map also covers more than 200 bus lines and the Pie-IX BRT, alongside the métro, REM and exo routes.
Use the métro map to follow rail connections, then switch to the broader network map if your journey may involve a bus or another rail service.
At a glance, the most useful detail on the map is where lines meet. Berri-UQAM is one such interchange, connecting three lines; the map also marks connections to other services. If you’re planning a day route, the one-day Montreal itinerary is a related place to plan your stops.
How do you get to the closest stations?
Berri-UQAM is a four-minute walk away, making it the closest of the three stations with supplied route details. Beaudry is about a 10-minute walk away, while Sherbrooke is about eight minutes on foot.
Berri-UQAM connects the Green, Orange and Yellow lines, so it can be useful when your route calls for a transfer among those lines. Its listed entrances include 1500 rue Berri, 505 rue Sainte-Catherine Est, 850 boulevard de Maisonneuve Est and 1470 rue Saint-Denis.
Two additional listed entrances are at the Grande Bibliothèque, 475 boulevard De Maisonneuve Est, and the Pavillon Judith-Jasmin, 1400 rue Berri. Both are marked as having elevator access. Beaudry is on the Green Line at 1255 rue Sainte-Catherine Est.
The supplied walk times put Berri-UQAM first, followed by Sherbrooke and then Beaudry. Check the station entrance that best fits your route rather than assuming every entrance serves the same approach.
What fares and transfers should you know about?
STM regular Zone A fares include single rides, multi-trip options and passes. The listed 1-trip fare is $3.75; it covers one trip with transfers and is valid for 120 minutes.
Other listed regular Zone A options are $7 for 2 trips, $35 for 10 trips, $11.25 for 24 hours, $21.75 for 3 consecutive days, $33.25 for one week and $110 for one month. Choose the option that fits the number of trips you expect to make, and confirm current fares with the STM before setting your budget.
After validating a fare, you have 120 minutes to transfer among bus, métro, train and REM. A return trip on the same bus or métro line requires another fare. If your plans include the market, you can pair transit planning with the guide to getting to Jean-Talon Market.
Using the métro for Montreal visitor areas
The network map helps you connect the métro with buses and other rail services, but the supplied details do not identify specific métro routes to individual visitor areas. Start with the places on your itinerary, find their stations on the STM map, and check whether a transfer is needed.
For a simple first step from this part of the city, Berri-UQAM gives access to the Green, Orange and Yellow lines.
The STM’s wider network map can help when the route involves one of its bus lines, the Pie-IX BRT, REM or exo trains. Allow for a separate fare if you return on the same bus or métro line after completing a trip.
Accessibility and service checks
Check elevator availability before travelling if your route depends on step-free access. The STM recommends checking elevator service status in real time, and its elevator guide includes a flow diagram to help locate elevators in multi-level stations such as Berri-UQAM.
The STM service-status page provides métro, elevator and escalator information. During a métro interruption lasting more than 30 minutes, the STM says it deploys special shuttle service; station neighbourhood maps show shuttle-stop locations.
Before you go: Fares, hours and service can change, so check the official site before you go. For current fare, elevator and service information, consult the STM. For the airport drive, see the YUL-to-hotel transfer guide; Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport is about 28 minutes away by car.
