Traversing the Montréal Métro with Python

I rode the entire Montréal Métro in 172 minutes. I'm not sure how helpful these slides will be, but they may help you relive some of my favorite jokes. The source code is at https://github.com/leafstorm/montreal-metro, and you can find a log of my journey at http://goo.gl/2nerjm. (It has lots of notes!)
