Montrealers Sound Off: Is Public Transit Too Expensive?
Montreal Public Transit Costs Spark Debate: Are Fares Too High? Montreal residents are voicing concerns about the rising cost of public transportation, particularly the STM and ARTM systems. A recent video by 24 Heures highlights the issue, featuring interviews with several residents who share their perspectives. Many students pay $60 a month, a price point some find excessive compared to other cities. "Je paye $60. C'est quand même assez cher," says Christine, an 18-year-old student, expressing a sentiment echoed by many interviewees. The high cost is particularly challenging for students, who often have limited budgets. Others, however, believe the price is acceptable, given the service provided. The video underscores the ongoing debate about the affordability and value of public transit in Montreal. While some see the current fares as a burden, others argue that they are necessary to maintain the system's operations. The discussion highlights the need for a balanced approach that considers both the financial needs of the transit system and the economic realities faced by its users. Further investigation into the cost-benefit analysis of the STM and ARTM system is warranted to inform future policy decisions.
