ARTM faces rebellion from transit corps

The ARTM (Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain), a bureaucratic entity dreamed up by the Quebec government in 2017, is facing a rebellion from the four main transit corporations placed under it. Inevitably, the ARTM has added to the paper pushing and other time-wasting nonsense the transit corporations have to do, as bureaucracies always will.

See, this is the sort of reason I thought last week’s “passenger bill of rights” was bunkum. The more man-hours devoted to servicing paperwork and lip-service, the less are left for running buses and metros.
