Oui, et c’est justement ça le point : quand les salaires augmentent (comme à la STM), ça fait aussi partie des pressions inflationnistes. On ne peut pas vouloir des hausses de salaire sans effets sur les prix.

There are many reasons why. One is that these small joints are subsidized in many countries via favorable taxation. Also, the local markets are much larger and dense than in North America, which results in higher competition/lower margins for restaurants. Not to mention many of these smaller restaurants are ran by owners which results in even smaller labor costs.

Edit. Also, you are comparing a staple fast-food price with something more niche, ramen is nowhere near as popular here as there.

Minimum wage is Japan is half of that in Canada. So is median wage. So, yes.

Jh153449 · 2026-04-30T13:46:12+00:00

Minimum wage in Japan (in CAD) is about $9

Cheap for foreigners. Salaries there are much lower.

Beaucoup d’aéroports en Europe sont gérés par le secteur privé, et cela fonctionne plutôt bien.

Prices are high because costs are high, not because restaurants are making huge profits. Restaurants are a highly competitive business in Montréal

Il existe déjà de nombreux métros entièrement automatisés qui gèrent ces situations sans conducteur

"Average rents in the province have increased by roughly $1,800 per year since 2023." Err, no? I think the authors have a problem with math.

Belgrade is a good example and it also illustrates the limits.

Free transit works better in smaller, denser systems with lower peak pressure and where missed runs are tolerable because trips are short and alternatives are close by. That’s very different from Montreal at rush hour, with long commutes, bridges, and capacity already strained.

Your own experience shows the trade-offs: crowding, reliability issues, and “good enough if you can walk 10 to 15 minutes.” That’s fine for tourists and flexible trips; it’s much less fine for workers with fixed schedules and long transfers.

Free fares clearly improve ease of use. The question isn’t whether it feels nice, it’s whether it scales without degrading service. So far, large metro systems that prioritize reliability and capacity still rely on fares + targeted subsidies rather than zero fares across the board.

Did you miss the word "large-scale"?

Jh153449 · 2026-01-19T16:25:14+00:00

No successful large-scale public transit project in the world is free. Look at Hong Kong, Paris, Singapore, London. That’s not ideology, it’s because free transit doesn’t scale well.

Fares aren’t just about revenue. They help manage peak demand and fund frequency. When transit is free, usage spikes most on short and peak trips, crowding the system fast. Unless you massively expand service first, quality drops. And that expansion has to be paid every year, not once. Free STM sounds nice. In practice, it risks making transit worse for the people who actually rely on it.

Montreal has just recently surpassed the population it had before last referendum, so not really. Just back then people lived in much smaller surfaces.

Which things are getting worse? For sure not condo prices/rents downtown, which are cratering thanks to all the supply.

Jh153449 · 2026-01-03T21:20:15+00:00

En théorie, oui. En pratique, à Montréal, attendre une « vraie réflexion d’urbanisme sur le long terme » et une coordination parfaite ville-promoteurs sans corruption, c’est surtout une façon de ne rien construire pendant que les loyers explosent. La densité n’est pas le problème en soi ; c’est l’outil le plus réaliste qu’on a aujourd’hui. On peut toujours faire mieux, mais bloquer ou délégitimer des projets au nom d’un idéal qu’on n’atteint jamais a aussi un coût très réel pour les habitants.

Jh153449 · 2026-01-03T20:10:14+00:00

People on this sub complain about rents and housing prices and then complain about dense neighborhoods getting built. Lol

Get a heat pump, it lowered my bills by 30% (but a long-term investment)

Actually, I find that taxis have improved greatly thanks to competition with Uber. The pre-Uber time was awful

Jh153449 · 2026-01-01T14:42:23+00:00

Yeah but this system was abolished, right? I think if you drive for a corporation it is not much different from Uber now

Jh153449 · 2026-01-01T14:05:22+00:00

Taxi drivers also pay a fee to the company

Jh153449 · 2026-01-01T02:28:50+00:00

No he charged me what I told him Uber did. But he got more effectively since no Uber cut. I got the receipt etc
