AMT Proposes Fare Hikes

Train commuters in and around Montreal might soon be paying a lot more for their fare. The AMT has proposed plans for fare increases at four stations. 

The Lachine, Lasalle, Montepelier and Chabanel stops may see fare increases jump up by up to 21 percent.

City councilors for those respective regions are not impressed with the AMT’s decision. The mayor of Lachine said public transit should be encouraged rather than discouraged.

Many commuters who use the train are not happy. They wonder why the train costs so much more than taking the bus or the metro.

Future stations may also likely face fare increases.
