If possible, i would ditch my car often enough and get a bus/metro pass. Its great, its cheap, and your not having to deal with the bs of traffic sometimes.
Too bad there are 3 flaws about the BMW(Bus Metro Walk) transportation system.
Flaw 1: It goes yet so far.
The Metro system expanded 2-3 new station in Laval district and now instead of taking 1 long bus and then the metro you can just dive in. I believe still there are other areas of the city that deserve the metro and its not laval. West Island is one of them. GOD DAMN PEOPLE OVER THERE LIVE FAR! You get off at Cote Vertu. Take one long ass 1hr bus ride to get to point claire. Now if you go out of your way to get there you are weird or very loyal to your friends but you must have some pity for those who trek all the way there to go to civilization (ie montreal) without a car! They should expand more outward in montreal and not laval.
Flaw 2: It smells.
People have B.O. Not enough people know about De-oderant or other stuff to at least mask your b.o or control it. The public transportation system needs to make a deal with those kind of product. Give away freebies, make a monthly package for valuable customers, give coupons, DO SOMETHING TO GET THE B.O PROBLEM IN CHECK!
Flaw 3: the frequency increase according to them is just not enough.
According to the transport system they say they have just increased the frequency of the bus and metro by 19%. Then why is it during the time where everyone is off and more tourism in the city, they decide to cut the number of carts in the metro system? How is that a genius of a move? Idiots.
No..they should increase it by 25% and i dont mean the core area, i mean the boonies...let the people who live in the farm land welcome to Montreal. I feel so sorry for those in the south shore who have to commute over 1hr to get to "the city". Its like a poor alabama girl living with Betsy the cow...and arriving to VEGAS.
change up those 3 and maybe your transport system might be a over all success...till then: Vroom vroom. (dont let me get started on T.dot's system...ass...7 lane Hwy and you still have traffic? pfff)
