The Société de transport de Montréal, the city’s transit agency, says it will no longer tolerate loitering in Métro stations, subways and buses.
The STM is implementing an “obligation to circulate” rule to deal with the growing number of unhoused people who are essentially living in transit facilities. The measure is, in theory, temporary (to April 30) but it’s hard to imagine what will change in that short period.
There is no question that the situation in some of Montreal’s 68 metro stations has become untenable.
