Here's what's happening with Montreal's public transit strike this week
You may have enjoyed regular bus and Metro service this past weekend, but Montreal's public transit strike isn't over yet. It's going until Tuesday night, with more service slowdowns planned. That means there will be regular service today and tomorrow during the rush hour and late-night runs, but service will be halved outside of those hours. Maintenance workers with the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) made an agreement with Quebec's labour tribunal to limit the impact on public safety and major events, such as the Canadian Grand Prix. That's why service this past weekend was temporarily returned to normal. On Monday, the bus service hours will be like this: 6:15 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. 11:15 p.m. to 1:15 a.m. As for the Metro, the hours will be: From 6:30 a.m. to 9:38 a.m. From 2:45 p.m. to 5:48 p.m. From 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. Bus and Metro service will be reduced to 50 per cent outside of those hours, meaning buses will make every other run. And the STM says cancelled services may vary from one bus line to another. Keep in mind that the same schedules apply for Tuesday, the last day of the strike, with one exception — the STM says regular bus and Metro service will resume as of 10 p.m. WATCH | What the last two days of the STM strike will look like: Here's what Montreal transit users need to know on the last 2 days of the strike 3 minutes ago Duration 1:39 On June 16 and 17, buses and Metro cars will be running at reduced rates during certain hours, part of a week-long strike by STM maintenance workers. Transit users should also keep in mind that the last bus or Metro will start and end their service at those times. That means passengers hoping to catch a bus or Metro at 9:38 a.m., for instance, will likely have missed their chance as it will be scheduled to arrive at the terminus. People out and about may still see empty buses running outside of those hours, and that's because people are still being trained during the strike, the STM says. And the STM needs to transport buses all throughout the Montreal island-wide network before the start of their essential service hours. Next, if you're wondering if you can be reimbursed for a monthly or weekly pass, the STM says you're not getting a refund.
