Montreal-area transit fares to rise by 3% in July
By
The majority of public transit fares in the Montreal metropolitan area will increase by an average of three per cent starting July 1, the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain (ARTM) announced on Wednesday.
The transit authority said the limited indexation is a 'responsible and necessary choice' in the current economic context, intended to balance financial sustainability with affordability for passengers.
A single trip in Zone A (the Montreal agglomeration) will remain at $3.75, but a monthly pass will go up to $104.50 from $100. A Zone AB ticket (covering the STM, STL and RTL service areas) will cost $5, up from $4.75, and a monthly pass will be $164.50, up from $160.
'In the current economic context, the ARTM is making the responsible and necessary choice to maintain the indexation of the fare grid for public transit tickets in the Montreal metropolitan area at three per cent,' said director general Benoît Gendron. 'This measure helps limit the financial impact on customers, while ensuring that we can continue to offer a reliable and efficient service.'
Special fares for RTL and REM users will see the biggest jump — 12 per cent — as the ARTM moves toward phasing them out in favour of Zone AB fares.
Legacy train-only passes and TRAM passes for the former Zones 4 and 6 will no longer be offered as of July 1.
