Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Negotiations were held with the Societe de Transport de Montreal, but no agreement was reached to create a U-Pass for Concordia students. The U-Pass would offer advantageous pricing to all full-time students of all ages—something to which the STM would not agree. Under the STM's existing new Opus & Cie program, staff and faculty could exercise an option for cheaper transit service.
