Quebec Solidaire Demands Federal Transit Funds for Montreal Metro

Quebec Solidarity Pressures Government for Public Transit Funds: Montreal Metro in Crisis Quebec Solidarity is urging the Coalition Avenir Québec government to secure Quebecs share of the new Canada Public Transit Fund, with about five billion dollars available to address the crumbling Montreal Metro. The party is calling for immediate investment in public transit, particularly the Metro, to prevent further disruptions and potential station closures. The Montreal Metro has been plagued by service shutdowns, with thirty-five stations in need of repairs, five of them urgent. Public transit investment has stagnated since 2013, while road funding has increased, leaving the system in disrepair. Quebec Solidarity insists that funding for public transit should not burden taxpayers, and the government must act promptly to prevent the Metro from grinding Montreal to a halt.
