The Canadian Grand Prix for 2025 is upon us. Race weekend begins this Friday June 13. Additional tickets have been added. Here s the latest from Montreal.

 

Public Transportation

Riders beware. There is a potential labour unrest this week.

From CBC.ca .. On June 9, 10 and 11, service will only be available from 6:30 a.m. to 9:38 a.m., from 2:45 p.m. to 5:48 p.m. and from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m.

Note that this means the last bus or Metro will start and end their service at those times, according to the STM. That means passengers hoping to catch a bus or Metro at 9:38, for instance, will likely have missed their chance as it will be scheduled to arrive at the terminus. 

On June 12, service will run from 6:30 a.m. to 10:38 a.m., from 2:45 p.m. to 6:48 p.m. and from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. Service will be reduced to 50 per cent outside of those hours, meaning that trains will make every other run.

On June 13, 14 and 15, service will resume as usual for Grand Prix weekend due to the increase in traffic. Both the STM and the union said preserving the regular service on those days was necessary for public safety reasons.

Plan ahead!. Also visit stm.info for more details.
