Montreal’s public transit system is facing major disruptions due to a nine-day strike by 2,400 transit maintenance workers. The walkout, which began today after over a year of stalled negotiations, is causing widespread chaos for commuters.

For the first three days, bus and subway service will be severely limited, operating only during morning and afternoon rush hours, and late at night. While regular service will be restored from Friday to Sunday to accommodate the Canadian Grand Prix, expect significant restrictions on other days until the strike concludes on June 17th.

Union leaders have issued a stark warning: if a resolution isn’t reached soon, the strike could intensify. This means further disruptions and potential service reductions are on the horizon for Montreal residents. Stay tuned for updates as this situation unfolds.
