Buses will be missing as of January
We haven’t begun to feel the effects of the latest STM strike. The prediction is that more and more buses will be off the road from lack of maintenance hours so that by January, at least 265 buses will be down or, in other terms, as many as 1100 departures per day will be missing from the schedule throughout the entire service.

I was waiting for a bus this evening and I watched it on the tracker: it was supposed to turn around and come pick me up, but instead it just went back to the bus barn. And the other bus that served that stop was something like 7 minutes early, so I missed it too.

It isn’t a pleasant night to get stuck on a street corner waiting for a bus, either.

Has anyone written a comprehensive piece explaining why all the different transit unions are striking this fall?

The CSN did.
