My understanding is that the AMT must have the means to establish a truly integrated public transit network that meets the needs of Montrealers and residents of the greater Montreal area. That means that the public transit network on the island of Montreal, whether bus or metro, will become integrated with that of Laval, Longueuil and the north and south shores.
The CITs (intermunicipal transportation boards), which currently manage the suburban train service, have to be able to harmonize their rates and schedules. For instance, bus and train transportation have to connect in a timely manner. There has to be a network that meets the needs of the public, instead of 12 distinct networks. It is the AMT's role to ensure such intermunicipal integration. What are needed are financial means and the mechanism to conduct such planning.
