STM pass sales declined in November
The sale of STM monthly passes declined for this month, which should not be a surprise.

I’ve always bought a monthly pass, except for this month.
I live in the suburbs, without a car. The STM is how I get into town, and how I get almost everywhere. I haven’t been on a bus/metro this month yet. Unless I cram myself onto a crowded bus during the limited hours, I don’t know if I’ll get anywhere any distance away until the strike is over.
I’m already wondering how I’ll get to my two appointments this month. A combination of travelling during limited hours, and taking taxis that I don’t really have the money for, I guess. (Bixi and the local trains aren’t really an option for me.)
And I heard that Covid cases are rising, and with the shot costing money and fewer people getting the shot, and more people being crammed together on public transit, it makes me think that Covid cases will rise even more soon, and that worries me.
Sorry for the long post. I guess I’m expressing my bottled-up frustrations.

Lots of bottled-up frustration at my workplace too. I typically use a combination of metro and car to get around (and I know it’s a privilege) but the metro part is key for me too….I’m angry and frustrated too as are many people I know….

One convenience for Pierrefonds is the REM will be running starting in eight days, and isn’t affected by the strike. Along with Bixi, that will provide some options. Of course Bixi’s regular season ends the same day the REM opens, and though they’ve promised to keep stations running a bit later in the zones they plan to stay open, nothing yet about the rest of the region. It would be really nice if they kept it open through the end of the strike in Pierrefonds, western Laval and Two Mountains.

It’s too bad that the part of Pierrefonds I live in isn’t too near to a REM or Bixi station.

As I work standard business hours and commute at rush hour, I bought a monthly pass anyway. I’m fine for getting to and from work, but I’m not able to participate in many leisure and other activities outside of work.

I still have to get an ABC pass to use the rem to get into town. I got a bixi pass for getting to work in time at 6am. The strike has really hit shift workers the most.

And students. Cegep and university class start times are throughout the day, unlike high school and primary.
