Does this mean we now have the most expensive cash fares in Canada? Toronto is still $3.25 and a one-zone trip (or any bus trip) in Vancouver is a bargain at $2.95. Good thing I loaded up my Opus card with 20 tickets instead of 10 last time.

The on-island monthly passes are still a lot lower than Toronto’s, don’t know about the others.

Reminder that there are still 787 fare options in the Montreal region. ARTM was suppose to announce a new system last summer, but other than that survey we’ve gotten nothing.
Fare systems have so much power to better use resources and make things more efficient, they need to get things going asap.

One thing to I miss about Vancouver transit is the ability to do round trips on a single fare. Maybe the STM could consider that option in the future.

Fares will go up once the REM is opened and busses can’t compete anymore. That bus to Saint-Anne de Bellevue is not reachable on a single ticket anymore, I expect zoning to be introduced on island and for busses as well.

@DeWolf: OCTranspo’s cash fares in Ottawa have been at $3.50 since January of 2018.

People are talking seriously about people having to spend 14 bucks a day to take the bus from downtown to Sainte Anne and back. This is where the monthly pass is an excellent deal. That said 14 bucks worth of gas will get me to Sainte Anne and back a few times, and I’m not stuck on some of the worst buses in the fleet for up to 2 hours each way.
