STM.info is the official website of Société de transport de Montréal (STM), the public transit operator in Montreal, Canada. It is not a general map site, but an official mobility portal for Montreal’s Métro, bus, REM/Train transfers, fares, and customer service. The closest category is therefore urban public transit under “maps and navigation.”
The site offers A-to-B trip planning, with options to set departure or arrival times and include Métro, Train, and REM. Users can also choose preferences such as less walking, fewer transfers, and wheelchair-accessible routes. The service status section covers Métro Line 1 Green, Line 2 Orange, Line 4 Yellow, Line 5 Blue, as well as bus route lookup, and it centralizes information on construction, station works, elevator/escalator status, and planned events. Its mobile section also mentions nearby stops, real-time/scheduled next departures, favorite routes, and bus/Métro crowding information. For developers, STM provides a portal, Swagger/API documentation, GTFS-realtime, and the i3 API, with a personal limit of 10 requests/second and 10,000 requests per day.
The website’s lookup features are free to use. Actual trips are charged according to the STM/OPUS fare system. The site references access to all fares, regular and reduced-fare OPUS cards, and 1/2/10-trip tickets. Transactions at on-site service points support debit cards, credit cards, and PayPass.
Its strengths are authoritative official information, relatively complete coverage of service disruptions, construction, and accessibility details. It also has dedicated content for visitors, seniors, families, cyclists, and riders using mobility assistance, while offering open APIs for third-party app integration. The main drawbacks are that its content is focused on Montreal, so its geographic usefulness is very narrow; much of the site text is primarily in French; real-time social alerts rely on X/Twitter, which is not friendly for users in China; and while the API quota is enough for typical apps, it may be insufficient for high-frequency commercial use cases.
STM.info is best suited to local Montreal commuters, short-term visitors, passengers who need accessible or adapted transit, and data developers building local transit apps. For general worldwide navigation, Google Maps, Apple Maps, Transit, Moovit, and similar services are more universal.
Based on the nature of the site, STM.info is the official website of a Canadian public transit agency and is generally accessible directly. However, its X/Twitter real-time alerts require a proxy in mainland China, and some external social features will be limited.
