There is inspector before the fare gate. And technically if you didn’t leave the gate you are not on the zone yet. This how it works in all public transport systems all over the world.
So. Imagine if the orange line was a loop people can go from Henri bourassa station to bois franc station via laval using an A title.
They have inspectors now on the quai to check everyone who unboarded the metropolis to check for fare evadors
REM seems to be the only system that takes fare evaders seriously…
That’s technically a fare evasion, if an inspector in the metro checks you in Laval, you are screwed
From the R.3 rule :
- À moins d’en être exempt conformément au présent règlement, tout usager doit acquitter le droit de passage requis pour chacune des Zones tarifaires de son déplacement, le cas échéant conformément à la Grille tarifaire en vigueur. Le titre doit être valide dans la zone de départ, dans la ou les zones traversées et dans la zone d’arrivée.
À moins d’une directive d’un Préposé à l’effet contraire, l’acquittement du droit de passage s’effectue, pour le service d’Autobus, de la manière prévue au moment de monter dans le véhicule et, pour le service de train, de métro ou du REM, lors de l’entrée dans l’Aire ou la Zone de contrôle.
RG_Règlement_titres_ARTM (A-33.3, R.3 (2022))
- Au moment d’acquitter son droit de passage ou lors de l’achat d’un Titre de transport ou d’un Support conforme, l’usager doit s’assurer de l’exactitude de la transaction. S’il constate à ce moment une erreur, une défaillance ou un dysfonctionnement des systèmes de vente ou de perception de même que toute autre problématique, l’usager doit immédiatement aviser le Préposé ou, selon le cas, le Consignataire pour obtenir la correction nécessaire.
People in wheelchairs are also exempted for elevator failiures, without the need for an employee to confirm
Merci pour la correction, j’étais vraiment dans le champs! Malgré que ca me semble contre productif de punir quelqu’un de distrait qui a manqué sa station ( sa m’arrive des fois)…
Tbh this is the same issue i have with broken elevators at Henri bourassa, a eventual Jean drapeaux, ids, Pierrefonds-Roxburo and sainte-dorotée, what are wheelchair users expected to do if the elevator breaks? They are supposed to take the metro/rem to b/c zone and come back but this would break the rules…
I asked the artm and they can’t find an official exception for wheelchair users and just told me users are expected to pay there fair unless explicitly told by an inspector they have an one time exception
It’s not written directly, but under rule 45, any other problem that causes you not to have the correct fare, such as I am guessing, elevator malfunction, you must make it clear the problem so that the corrective mesures can be applied.
The metro makes it REALLY clear that you will be fare evading if you don’t leave at HeBo or JD
(I wish the train and the rem would follow suite)
The STM also puts stickers next to elevators instructing people to go to the next station in order to go back afterwards. So it is allowed via signage.
You can tell it’s a quiet day at the office
That’s why TO-TO is a better system, overall.
Il semble y avoir eu deux courtes interruptions de service ce matin en deux heures en raison d’intrusion sur la voie. Étrange quand même.
It seems to be people that climbed the Samuel-de Champlain Bridge superstructure, according to Bell Media News.
I really wish the Telecite 2.0 screens would show news, like the original Telecite did. (I’m not even sure they’re called Telecite anymore)
Pretty sure Telecité got bought out by Alstom sometime in the 2010s, haven’t heard of any developments since. I’m guessing it isn’t worth the money to transcribe Ads or news into their dot matrix and regularly update it anymore, especially with phones everywhere
Well yes and no… With WFH we probably wont see rush hour ridership like we used to, but let’s say we did, then its just a numbers game no? The DM train schedule used to be a pretty heavy bell curve with about half of its morning departures concentrated between 7am and 8am (i believe 5 departures), so if old habits were to return then Id expect that same time “slice” to be as jam packed (if not moreso than before due to reduced seating)
The old exo6 DM line was three trains an hour from Roxboro, max, at rush hour. REM will be 12 an hour, and likely four-car trains, true show-up-and-go.
The old way, let’s say you had a 10am class at McGill. You’d need to show up for the 8:15 in hopes of getting to Central by 8:43 – along with all the people who start work at 9, 9:15, 9:30 – because the next departure was at 8:58 and might pull into Central at 9:25. With REM, you’ll just go when you need to go, while the people who start earlier show up when they need to go.
