Montreal’s Metro will have extended service hours on New Years Eve [Video]

To help Montrealers celebrate the holidays safely, the Metro will run later than usual on New Year’s Eve.

The last-train times will vary from one Metro station to another, and riders are encouraged to look at the Société de transport de Montréal (STM)’s website.
