Montreal is on alert for a looming transit strike that could severely curtail bus and metro services between June 9 and 17. With service cuts expected outside peak hours, commuters are preparing for significant inconveniences while city officials scramble to mitigate the impact amid ongoing labor tensions and last-minute negotiations.

Service will be reduced or eliminated outside of peak hours for several days between June 9 and 17 if a planned maintenance workers' strike goes ahead.
Un règlement de dernière minute semble très peu probable, mais n’est pas impossible.
