Instead of extorting money from passengers, STM seems to me to be rewarding them for using public transit regularly.
^ As a local, I am in total agreement with this and happy that the STM replaced the former $16 Aerobus and added a viable alternative to the $40 taxi.

My only gripe - for visiting friends - is the thing about no foreign credit cards.
