Overview

• The nine-day strike launched on June 9 by 2,400 STM maintenance workers confines bus and metro operations to morning and evening rush hours plus late-night windows
• STM will run full service during the Canadian Grand Prix weekend from June 14 to 16 but maintain limited schedules on other days until the walkout ends
• Bruno Jeannotte, head of the maintenance union, has cautioned that the action may intensify as negotiations continue with the drivers’ union
• The city and STM have boosted Bixi bike-sharing docks and Communauto car-share vehicles to help commuters navigate the disruptions
• HEC Montréal and McGill University have revised class schedules and campus transit plans in response to the reduced service
