Passenger Information on Montréal métro

Real-time passenger information display system on the Montréal métro. Information supplied includes the name of the next station and (as here) interchange possibilities. When not showing travel information the displays show other local information, news, weather forecasts, etc and paid advertising.

I got on the metro today and the announcements (Prochaine station) was exacly like this, and at Henri-Bourassa, on the screen, it was written Merci d'avoir voyage avec la STCUM instead of STM!

Just a note, the terminus is now Montmorency since 2007.

Looks like a cool system. here in Brazil our metro and buses have LCD monitors that show lots of stuff like news and HowTo Videos, etc.

here in London our buses are only just getting passenger information systems announcing the next stops, and only some trains announce the next station.

First time I went to Montreal was 2008 and I thought this was new "Cutting edge technology"...Didn't know it was so old. Light years ahead of other transit systems in North America *cough* TTC *cough*.

I watch people on the Metro and hardly no one look at the displays, however I do look at them since I pay taxes for them lol!

I'm not sure what's harder to believe. The fact that this in 1993, or that it's actually working properly.

@gorbache

Haha it's true. However with the new metro cars, which are expected for 2014, should have HD screens.

it would help to have stop announcements on buses.
