Closely examine the photos and read the hints carefully to guess each bus line. Use a pencil and paper to match each number to a bus line. Then, check your answers, count how many you got right, and find out how well you know your Montreal bus lines.

You can do better!

However, wearing a face covering doesn’t at all stop you from seeing the outside world. Could you be too focused on your cellphone? If so, don’t forget to clean it often and to look up from time to time, whether to give your seat to someone who needs it or to take a look out the window!
