Your opinion makes a big difference
Here are examples of some recent STM projects benefitted from panelist feedback.
Between March and April 2022, 7,857 panelists were invited to participate in a study on street harassment in STM facilities. The study found that customers’ sense of safety on bus and métro networks is high overall (but higher among men). Over 500 customers were able to speak about events they had witnessed and/or experienced. This helped us understand that most customers who witnessed acts of harassment did not know what to do in such situations, but that they were ready to act. The victims of harassment expressed that they would have liked to see more bystanders take action.
Following these results, in 2023, the STM will raise awareness about street harassment among its employees and customers and inform them of the importance of taking action.
The STM surveyed 4,449 panelists in July to anticipate ridership on bus and métro networks during the back-to-school period, so it could properly adapt its services to customer needs.
With this feedback, our teams were able to plan the services that customers will need once they return to their regular activities.
In July 2022, more than 6,000 panelists were asked to give feedback to help us understand the state of mind of customers regarding the fare redesign introduced by the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain (ARTM).
With this feedback, we were able to determine how well customers understood the fare redesign and identify any gaps in the information provided.
These results were shared with the ARTM through various committees. We are working with the ARTM and other public transit organizations in the Greater Montréal area to adequately support our customers through these changes.
We surveyed our customers all year long to measure their experience of our network. Hearing from our panelists allows us to monitor customer satisfaction over time and target areas where we can improve the customer experience in our network.
With the gradual increase of ridership in 2022 (70% of pre-pandemic levels), operational factors (bus punctuality, métro disruptions and crowding) gained more importance as criteria for improving the experience in our networks. Thanks to your feedback, we will be able to improve the quality of our service.
The STM provides its customers with several digital and paper-based customer information tools to help them plan their trips. The tools have been available for several years, but until now, there was little information about their use and the level of customer satisfaction. In July, we surveyed more than 8,000 panelists to make the necessary adjustments to our information tool portfolio to ensure their proper and satisfactory use by our customers.
Each year, the STM launches a few major communication campaigns and partnerships. The panel helps assess them by measuring understanding, appreciation, and usefulness.
Between October and November 2022, more than 7,000 panelists were asked to rate the Reconnect communication campaign and its partnerships. This campaign aimed to promote festivals and summer events in Montréal for which the STM is a partner.
The feedback we received allowed us to measure the impact of partnerships on customer decisions to use STM services and assess the relevance of partnering with summer events in Montréal.
Constantly improving our survey accessibility
Several improvements have made our survey platform even more accessible, and we are continuously working to improve it.
My voice my STM is a research and survey panel made up of STM bus and métro network customers who volunteered to share their opinions on a number of subjects pertaining to public transportation in the Montréal area.
STM customers of the bus and métro network who register as members of the panel are given the opportunity to share their experiences and opinions about different aspects of public transportation and thereby help to improve STM services and shape the future of public transit. By becoming a member of the My voice my STM panel and answering surveys, customers can also win prizes.
Simply click on « Sign up », then fill out the online registration form, where you will be asked to provide information about your STM customer profile. After, you will receive an email to validate your registration.
The My voice my STM panel is open to all customers who ride STM public transit and who agree to answer surveys. Such customers must have an email address.
You will be invited to answer surveys once or twice a month, depending on your customer profile and STM needs.
Survey subjects are always about public transportation and the STM. For example, your level of satisfaction with bus and métro service, your opinion about the latest promotional campaign, your universal accessibility needs or your reaction to a new service the STM is planning on providing to STM bus and métro services.
You can take part in My voice my STM as long as you like and you can also quit at any time by simply clicking on the “Cancel your subscription” link found at the bottom of any of our email communications.

Each survey is different but, on average, it should take you about 5 minutes.

Constantly improving our survey accessibility
We hired a team of experts to evaluate our survey platform’s accessibility. Several improvements will be made in the near future.
The most recent accessibility improvement was the addition of image descriptions for the pictures and emoticons used in our surveys. The image descriptions can be read by screen readers, which are used by some panelists with limited vision.
