Nearly half of Montreal Metro stations in poor condition

A recent study reveals that almost half of Montreal's metro stations are in poor condition, with 48% showing significant deterioration. An inspection conducted in 2019 highlighted issues like crumbling concrete and water infiltration, prompting concerns about safety and the need for urgent repairs. Despite the problems, the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) assures that there is no immediate danger to passengers and is planning renovations. However, these repairs are expected to disrupt service, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive maintenance strategy to ensure the long-term reliability of the transit system.
