👉Gatineau's transit agency, the Société de transport de l'Outaouais (STO), is urging action to address residents using Ontario licence plates to evade renewal fees that support Quebec's transit. The STO's board proposes joint efforts with the city to tackle the issue, citing fairness to Gatineau citizens. New Quebec legislation allows cities to add fees to licence plate renewals for transit funding. Gatineau aims to raise $15 million annually for its struggling transit system. Councilor Jocelyn Blondin emphasizes the importance of compliance, stating that residents should contribute to the services they use in Quebec.✅ .

👉Gatineau's public transit authority, Société de transport de l'Outaouais (STO), is compelled to cancel numerous daily bus trips due to a persistent labor shortage. The cancellations, beginning this Monday, will primarily impact peak periods, excluding weekend services. STO faced challenging decisions on which trips to cancel, considering factors such as ridership. Additional one-off cancellations may occur, with updates available on the STO website. Normal service restoration is expected in a maximum of two to three months, according to Coun. Jocelyn Blondin, the board's chair. A recruitment campaign is actively seeking bus drivers, and a recruiting firm has been engaged to attract licensed operators, expediting the training process.✅ .
