The looming transit maintenance strike, which could be a long one, will include metro hours on weekends this time, and quite generous commuting hours for buses and metro during the week.

Transit is the inescapable story today, with more details of the mayor's 20-year, multi-billion-dollar transit plan, and angry responses to the proposed bridge tolls for access to the island. The mayor of Laval is particularly miffed, saying Montreal clearly thinks it's the navel of the world; sorry M. Vaillancourt, but in Quebec, it's Montreal that's la métropole, not Laval.
