Montréal, September 16, 2013 – A partner of In Town Without My Car day since it was launched eleven years ago, the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) offers a host of activities to help make September 20 a day-long celebration of sustainable mobility.

More than 80 cities and transport companies around the world, including the STM, will make their voices heard during the Grow with Public Transport campaign – an initiative of the International Association of Public Transport (UITP), which aims to promote the growth and improvement of public transport to create better urban living environments. Montréalers are already the biggest users of public transit in North America and, with the support of decision makers, we can go even further!

Plus de 80 villes et sociétés de transport du monde entier, dont la STM, ont décidé d’unir leurs voix dans le cadre de la campagne « Gagnons avec le transport public », une initiative de l’Union internationale des transports publics (UITP) qui veut favoriser l’accroissement et l’amélioration du transport collectif afin que les villes constituent de meilleurs milieux de vie.

As planned, after major renovations, the Jolicoeur métro station will re-open on Monday, August 26. Work on this station – originally opened in 1978 – had become necessary since certain components had reached the end of their useful life. The work focused primarily on the station’s structural, architectural, mechanical, and electrical components.

Some work remains to be finished in the coming weeks, including landscaping and window repairs, but this will present no danger to STM customers.
