Montreal Buses and Metro Get Canadiens Signs and Player Voices

Apr 24, 2026, 14:21

Introduction

The STM (Montreal transit) started a new promotion with the Montreal Canadiens hockey team. Players will say station names on the metro. Buses will show the English phrase 'Go Habs Go' again. This happened after a language rule was made clear.

Main Body

Last year, the STM removed 'Go Habs Go' from buses. A language office said it was a problem. Then the office changed its dictionary. Now the word 'go' is okay for sports. Four Canadiens players recorded French station names for two metro stops near the Bell Centre. This is the first time players did this. The idea came from a video. The players are Lane Hutson, Juraj Slafkovsky, Alexandre Texier, and Jakub Dobes. Now buses show 'Go Habs Go' again. About 700 buses have it. The STM wants all buses to show it by April 30. Some buses still show the French version 'Allez les Canadiens'. The STM and Canadiens work together often. Many people take the metro to games. People like the new signs and announcements. The special announcements will stay during the playoffs.

Conclusion

The STM did two things: player announcements and bus signs. This shows the partnership with the Canadiens. The announcements will end when the playoffs end.
