Revenue shortfall could force STM to reduce bus service
“Buses have to keep running, metro needs a good level of service so we need to find a solution,” Caldwell said.Many users are concerned about the potential for any cuts in service.
“I don’t understand, they say, ‘Use public service, use public service,’ and they’re going to cut it,” Herbert Tille, a visitor from Vancouver using a Montreal STM bus, told Global News.The STM released its 2023 budget projecting to spend $1.7 billion, an 8.2 per cent increase compared with last year.“They say, ‘Take public transportation,’ but then it’s just contradicting to remove funds toward it,” Elliotte Comptom told Global News.
STM officials are still hoping to make up the fiscal shortfall to maintain the current level of service.
