Four routes, see map,—black dashes indicating routes. The different routes are distinguished by colored signs above the fronts of the cars, and by similar lights at night, viz:—
- Chaudiere—Rockcliffe line; green square or green light.
- Chaudiere—New Edinburgh line; green square with white cross, or green and white light.
- Britannia—Sandy Hill line; maltese cross, or red and white light.
- Bank Street—Sandy Hill line; red diamond or red light.
- Union Depot—Elgin street line; white disc or white light.
- Gladstone avenue line; green triangle with red disc, or green and red light.
Enter and leave at rear end of most closed cars, and leave at front end of "pay-as-you-enter" cars.
Cars stop on the far side of cross streets. Pedestrians must therefore remember to "Look out for the cars."
