Montréal, December 4, 2008 - Société de transport de Montréal’s new family fare programme, Family Outings, begins next December 6. As announced earlier, the new programme allows an adult presenting a valid system transit fare to travel with a maximum of five children under the age of 12 at no extra cost on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

The initiative will allow a number of families to enjoy the fare flexibility offered by public transit to discover Montréal’s various points of interest.

As of January 2009, several partners from the tourist, cultural and recreational industries will offer discounts to families upon presentation of a rebate coupon and valid transit fare. Discounts offered by partners range from 10% to 15%.

Preliminary list of partners for 2009: 
 

Families can consult the list of discounts offered by the Family Outings programme and download from the STM website. More useful information about using public transit will be available on the website early next year.
