TL;DR
A transit strike in Montreal has led to increased bike traffic as commuters turn to cycling as an alternative. The strike by public transit workers has disrupted regular transportation services, prompting people to seek other means to get around. With more cyclists on the streets, there have been calls for improved cycling infrastructure to ensure safety and accommodate the growing number of bike commuters.
