STM Launches Twitter accounts for Metro

The S-T-M may be still figuring out how to fix the recent delays in the Metro,

But they have already found out one solution to keep passengers up to date to any future disruptions.

Montreal's public transit service have intensified it's social media presence.

Each Metro line now has its own Twitter handle that will notify commuters connected online.

[ The accounts are @stm_verte, @stm_orange, @stm_jaune, and  @stm_bleue ]

The launch of the new accounts is part of a campaign to address the recent disruptions.

In addition to the installation of a new control room, the Metro has been plagued with computer problems, a passenger emergency and a breakdown of metro cars;

Metro opérations director Dominique Lemay spoke to the C-B-C.

He says these occurrences have been very bad news as he considers the Montreal metro as one of the most reliable underground transport systems in the world.

With the new Twitter accounts, Lemay hopes to put a new action plan to help deal prevent future interruptions.
