Thursday is not a day for driving

People are being urged by the Montreal police to avoid driving on Thursday. Demonstrators that are protesting tuition increases are expected to jam the streets. It would be recommended to take public transit in order to get around or to just go by foot.

Even if you don't use your car on Thursday, detours will most likely occur since the route some of the rally organizers have provided might change.

The march comes two days after the provincial budget has confirmed their plan to increase tuition. However, police are optimistic that this march will not have the same end results as the anti-police brutality march.

People should consult the STM's website to see which bus routes have been detoured. The march is beginning at 1h pm at Place du Canada, South of Rene-Levesque Bld. 30 000 people are expected to take part in the protest.
