Despite our greatest hopes, the financing problem was not resolved during the year. We estimate the investments that will have to be made in our network over the next ten years to ensure dependability and quality of service at close to $3 billion. It is clear that the STM cannot assume these massive investments on its own. Without a new financial framework and without the staunch support of its partners, it will not be able to fulfil its obligations and support its ridership. It is imperative that decisions in favour of public transit be made quickly in the interest of its customers and the community.
