Canadian
Football League East Division Final
Let’s
go with the Metro !
Montreal, November 6, 2003
– The STM encourages fans attending the
Canadian Football League’s East Division final game on Sunday, November 9,
to use the metro. The Olympic Stadium hosting the game is easily accessed by
either Pie-IX or Viau stations.
In order to meet the demand, metro service will be
adjusted according to the number of transit users, and trains will be added
on the 1 – Green, 2 – Orange and 4 – Yellow lines as needed. Since ridership
levels are usually heavier after the event than before, it is also
preferable to buy your return fare ahead of time.
Visitors wishing to take in as many of the
football-related festivities as possible will find the Tourist Card to be
their best option, since it allows unlimited transit use for one day ($ 7)
or three days ($ 14). The Tourist Card may be purchased at Berri-UQAM and
Bonaventure metro stations.
Since large crowds are expected in the metro on Sunday
November 9, bicycles will not be admitted between 12 and 9 p.m.
Transit users are invited to
call the Telbus number appearing on their bus stop when planning their
transportation to these events. For trip information, please call
A-U-T-O-B-U-S (288-6287). More useful information can be found on the STM’s
website at www.stm.info
