Bicycles in the métro
As the Carifiesta parade and fireworks display in the evening are expected to generate a significant increase in métro ridership, no bicycles will be allowed inside the métro from 11 a.m. till closing.

The STM recommends that métro users purchase their return ticket ahead of time, to avoid waiting in line, as ridership levels are usually much heavier after an event than before.

Transit users should call A-U-T-O-B-U-S (288-6287) when planning their transportation to this event. For any other information, please call STM-INFO (786-4636). More useful information can also be found on the STM’s website at www.stm.info .
