STM.info Gets a Face Lift

Montreal's transit authority has rebuilt it's website.  More interactive with a map showing the Metro lines plus on the front page you can select what you wish to look up with relative ease.  The left hand side of the site has a tool box where you can choose to plan your trip, check schedules, look up fares and also maps of the system for both surface and Metro lines.  On the right you can zoom into the map and search that way.

On the bottom and top of the page are links to other parts of the site including service updates for the system as a whole.  I played around with it and found that for the most part it does work well. I had to remember that the site is still in beta, but for beta it is not bad at all.  The zoom seemed to be the only issue for me.  I could do it, but the map blurs.  It is most likely an issue with Chrome or that the map is not developed enough for user interface.

My suggestion go and play around on the site.  It's the best way to figure out how to use it and also as you do you may want to feed back to the STM some suggestions.

The new site comes in two flavors.
