Show Notes
Montreals metro system saw a 15% increase in assaults in 2025, with 726 cases reported, the highest since the pandemic began. Despite a January spike, the rest of the year remained steady. Transit officials attribute this to more people dealing with drug addiction and mental health issues using stations as shelters. A no-loitering rule was reinstated in June to enhance safety. However, many assaults involve people who know each other, and theres no clear link to those using the metro as shelters. The metro remains generally safe, with incidents isolated.
