Montreal's Bus Network: Solving the Identity Crisis
RECENTLY UPDATED
One of the greatest (and underrated) improvements lately in Montreal's public transit system is it's new integrated fare chart. This brought the new metropolitan bus pass, which allows citizens to travel on most buses in the region on one ticket. However, at first glance, the bus system does not seem as integrated as the fare system. Each operator has their own wayfinding, visual design and identity. All of these separate identities causes people to question whether the buses work in tandem for one system, or are they all many smaller systems. Therefore, I propose to unify the wayfinding, by creating one singular standard for all the operators to follow.
