MONTREAL GAZETTE | Despite problems, bus ridership in Montreal up slightly in 2018
The increase in ridership for 2018 was surprising to Nick Chaloux, a transportation planner and former researcher at TRAM - Transportation Research at McGill. "The fact there is a slight growth is positive," said Chaloux, who published a paper last year that highlighted concerns about the decline in the STM's bus service. "The STM was operating with 100 fewer buses on average, with all the side effects that come with that. When you take that into consideration and you see that ridership was stagnant overall, that's kind of impressive."
