Montreal’s Bus Network: Solving the Identity Crisis

Montreal’s recent introduction of a metropolitan bus pass, which allows travel across most regional buses with a single ticket, marks a major improvement in public transit. However, the bus network still struggles with visual and operational disunity. Each operator uses its own wayfinding and design, causing confusion about whether the buses operate as a unified system. To address this, I propose a standardized wayfinding system for all operators. Despite time constraints from working full-time and handling overtime, I focused on developing a design standard, particularly for bus stop signage. This effort, though limited in scope, aims to create a more integrated and user-friendly transit experience for Montreal.
