Montreal Subway Foot Traffic Data, 2024 edition

2025-01-14 - Louis-Philippe Véronneau

Another year of data from Société de Transport de Montréal, Montreal's transit agency!

A few highlights this year:

  1. The closure of the Saint-Michel station had a drastic impact on D'Iberville, the station closest to it.

  2. The opening of the Royalmount shopping center nearly doubled the traffic of the De La Savane station.

  3. The Montreal subway continues to grow, but has not yet recovered from the pandemic. Berri-UQAM station (the largest one) is still below 1 million entries per quarter compared to its pre-pandemic record.

By clicking on a subway station, you'll be redirected to a graph of the station's foot traffic.

Licences

  • The subway map displayed on this page, the original dataset and my modified dataset are licenced under CCO 1.0: they are in the public domain.

  • The R code I wrote is licensed under the GPLv3+. It's pretty much the same code as last year. STM apparently changed (again!) the way they are exporting data, and since it's now somewhat sane, I didn't have to rely on a converter script.
