Growing pains, trains & automobiles: Why improving the Montreal commute is complicated

from This is Montreal

Despite growing numbers of cyclists and rebounding transit ridership, most people in the greater Montreal area still commute by car. But the choices available to you depend a lot on where you live and where you’re going. Transportation researchers say we need to do a better job of offering everyone alternative ways to get around. We’ll look at what some municipal politicians are proposing, and what it will take for Montreal to make a mobility shift where no commuter is left behind.*Correction: A previous version of this episode referred to active commuting "by bike or by car" increasing 26 per cent. It's been corrected to "by bike or by foot" and 25 per cent.
