Vice-chair of the STM Marvin Rotrand says Montrealers are still getting a good deal.


“"We will remain among the lowest fares in North America and the lowest of the major networks in Quebec," Rotrand said.

But the opposition party Projet Montréal is worried the hikes are too significant, and will dissuade Montrealers from using public transit.
