'''Greater Montreal''' ({{langx|fr|Grand Montréal}}, {{IPA|fr|ɡʁɑ̃ mɔ̃ʁeal|}}) is the most populous metropolitan area in Quebec and the second most populous in Canada after Greater Toronto. In 2015, Statistics Canada identified Montreal's Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) as {{convert|4258.31|km2|mi2}} with a population of 4,027,100,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://journalmetro.com/actualites/montreal/719530/grand-montreal-maintenant-4-millions-de-personnes/|title=Grand Montréal: maintenant 4 millions de personnes|website=journalmetro.com|date=12 February 2015|access-date=30 April 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171020112833/http://journalmetro.com/actualites/montreal/719530/grand-montreal-maintenant-4-millions-de-personnes/|archive-date=20 October 2017}}</ref> almost 50% of the province.

A smaller area of {{convert|3838|km2|mi2}} is governed by the '''Montreal Metropolitan Community''' ('''MMC'''; {{langx|fr|Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal}}, CMM). This level of government is headed by a president (currently Montreal mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada).{{Citation needed|date=January 2026}}

The inner ring is composed of densely populated municipalities located in close proximity to Downtown Montreal. It includes the entire Island of Montreal, Laval, and the Urban Agglomeration of Longueuil. Due to their proximity to Montreal's downtown core, some additional suburbs on the South Shore (Brossard, Saint-Lambert, and Boucherville) are usually included in the inner ring, despite their location on the mainland.{{Citation needed|date=January 2026}}

The outer ring is composed of low-density municipalities located on the fringe of Metropolitan Montreal. Most of these cities and towns are semi-rural. Specifically, the term ''banlieues hors de l'île'' (''off-island suburbs'') refers to those suburbs that are located on the North Shore of the Mille-Îles River, those on the South Shore that were never included in the megacity of Longueuil, and those on the Vaudreuil-Soulanges Peninsula.{{Citation needed|date=January 2026}}

==Transportation== {{Main|Exo (public transit)}}

'''Exo''' operates the region's commuter rail and metropolitan bus services, and is the second busiest such system in Canada after Toronto's GO Transit. Established in June 2007, Exo's commuter rail system has six lines linking the downtown core with communities as far west as Hudson, as Far south as Mont-Saint-Hilaire, as far east as Mascouche, and as far north as Saint-Jérôme.

Along with Exo, a sister agency, the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain ('''ARTM''') plans, integrates, and coordinates public transport across Greater Montreal, including the Island of Montreal, Laval (Île Jésus), and communities along both the north shore of the Rivière des Mille-Îles and the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River. The ARTM's mandate also includes the management of reserved High-occupancy vehicle lanes, metropolitan bus terminuses, park-and-ride lots, and a budget of $163 million, which is shared amongst the transit corporations and inter-municipal public transit organizations.

The Exo/ARTM's territory spans 63 municipalities and one native reserve, 13 regional county municipalities, and 21 transit authorities. It serves a population of approximately 3.7 million people who make more than 750,000 trips daily.{{Citation needed|date=February 2009}}

The major transit commissions under the ARTM are: * '''Société de transport de Montréal''' ({{langx|en|Montreal Transit Corporation}}), serving the Island of Montreal * '''Société de transport de Laval''' ({{langx|en|Laval Transit Corporation}}), serving the city of Laval * '''Réseau de transport de Longueuil''' ({{langx|en|Longueuil Transit Network}}), serving the Urban agglomeration of Longueuil
