The STM Remade Montreal's Metro Map With Hilarious Franglais Holiday-Themed Station Names

See you at Let It Snowdon!

Montreal's STM always finds ways to keep its social network presence hip and fun — from calling out passengers for wearing their masks in all the wrong ways to creating memes about its own buses and writing hilarious horoscopes for each of the zodiac signs.

And now, our favourite transportation network has done it again. But this time, it took a festive and franglais route.

The STM remade the entire metro map with new holiday station names that are as clever as they are quirky.

My personal favourites are Jarry-ve Au Party, Let It Snowdon, Rudolph-Vanier, McGrinch, and Ski-Concordia. 

This holiday metro map is part of the STM's new contest, where locals can win one of its 15 limited edition Christmas sweaters with the map printed on it.

The contest is aptly named "Métro-HO-HO!," and I'm thinking Santa would be proud.

We're told that the STM is doing this contest as a way to "brighten up the holiday season" for its passengers.

For your chance to win one of these exclusive sweaters, all you have to do is post a story or reel on Instagram "that recreates a moment of your bus or metro ride," then tag @stminfo and make sure you're following that account as well.

The deadline to enter the contest is on Thursday, December 17, at 11:59 p.m., so it's time to start getting creative!
