The STM has adopted a carrier directive for the period from May 1, 2026, to April 30, 2027, which prohibits anyone from being present in rolling stock or in a building operated by the STM for purposes other than those related to travel using public transit services or the operation of an activity authorized by the STM.
The scope of this directive includes, in particular, the collection of donations, alms, or other benefits outside the security checkpoints of metro stations.
Soliciting money contributions is only allowed between the station entrance doors and the fare collection gate or booth, subject to provisions (article 16) set out in By-law R-036 - Prescribing standards of safety and conduct to be observed by passengers in the rolling stock and immovables operated by or on behalf of the Société de transport de Montréal:
- No person shall litter or adversely impact the cleanliness of the premises
- No person shall interfere with the work of STM employees
- No person shall obstruct the orderly movement of passengers
- No person shall jeopardize the safety of others
- No person shall conduct any business or commercial activities
In the event a person fails to comply with one of the above provisions, the STM reserves the right to require that said person leave the premises.
