From the days before the current colour-coding of the lines and the now-iconic black background. Here, we have dark blue (or black: it’s hard to tell from this picture) instead of green for Line 1, and red instead of orange for Line 2. Line 4 retains its yellow color, and the three colours combined also form part of the Metro’s branding at the base of the map.
The map itself is fairly blocky and primitive, and the stairstepping effect on Line 1 in the eastern portion of the map creates some problems with label placement. The shoreline is strangely detailed in comparison with the rest of the map.
The enormous “no smoking” icon is much larger than the agency logo, and apparently, way too many people interfere with the doors.
Our rating: An interesting look at the early days of Montreal’s map, although it’s not very memorable in itself. Two stars.

Line 1 has always been green, the picture here is to dark to reflect the real color. Even the logo is to dark, you should see 3 colors in it, white letters on black background and white logo on blue transit background.
