The problem is that they are basically breaking the concept of zones A and B. It should be simple, I buy a ticket and I can go everywhere here and there. Why would Brossard and Longueuil residents get this deal grandfathered in, but Laval doesn’t count? What about someone who works near métro Henri Bourassa but lives near Montmorency? The distance is not greater than Panama → Bonaventure
The only solution to me would basically be a fare hike for those specific users. The silver lining for them is that they get access to the entire transit system of Montréal and won’t have to buy extra tickets. So it depends. For a future where commuters are a decreasing part of the public transit equation, should we really be prioritizing the metro boulot dodo in the fare structure?
