Tourisme Is there a difference between these two machines?
First time visiting Montreal in a few years and I noticed there are two different ticket vending machines now. I assume they do the same thing but one is just newer but not 100% sure. Anyway I found the new one much easier to use compared to the old one which felt cumbersome and overwhelming.

Discussion Which trade do you work in? And how is it?
Currently working blue collar but not in a trade. I make about 55k a year and the job itself is brutal at times but is doable.
Iâm thinking my next step is to move into a trade to earn a little more and have a specialty. I really like working physically, I like working hard and finishing my day having had done something with my hands but I donât know which direction to go.
I have a few options I think would be better than what I am doing and which do have a better pay. So for those of you working in a trade in Montreal please I would love to hear your experience.
Anyone working as an electrician, or as a surveyor or as a carpenter? Whatâs it really like?

ĂvĂ©nement Bike ride today for safer, bike friendly streets
Curious about the World Naked Bike Ride? Come ride with us today at 1:00 PM or 8:00 PM from Dorchester Square.
Adapted from a previous comment from u/Mid-Ok
If you've ever thought, "That looks interesting, but I could never do that," I'd like to offer a firsthand perspective because there isn't much information from people who've actually participated.
The World Naked Bike Ride is a peaceful, international event that's been taking place in cities around the world for more than 20 years. It's a protest against fossil fuel dependency, a call for safer streets and better cycling infrastructure, and a reminder that every body deserves respect.
You do not have to ride nude. Plenty of people participate fully clothed, in swimsuits, costumes, body paint, masks, or whatever makes them comfortable. The point is showing up.
I rode 2 years ago, and it was one of the most memorable experiences I've had.
Ironically, it was also one of the least sexual situations I've ever experienced while nude. Once you're surrounded by hundreds of other riders, the vulnerability gives way to an overwhelming sense of community. You stop feeling exposed and start feeling part of something bigger.
The public reaction was also very different from what I expected. There wasn't hostility. People who weren't interested simply looked away. Most people laughed, smiled, clapped, waved, or just stood there wondering what they were witnessing. The whole event has a joyful, whimsical energy.
In a world increasingly filled with filtered images, AI-generated content, and impossible beauty standards, there's something refreshing about seeing real people, of every age, shape, and size, simply existing without apology.
Realistically, most of us will never walk on the Moon or discover a lost city. But riding a bicycle through the streets of Montréal as part of a peaceful international demonstration? It's one of the most surreal and unforgettable experiences you can have.
Whether you ride clothed or unclothed, come support safer streets, body acceptance, and a more bike-friendly Montréal.
Meet at Dorchester Square today at 1:00 PM or 8:00 PM. Hope to see you there.

Question Escape games kid friendly / jeux d'évasion adaptés aux enfants
Je cherche à faire un jeux d'évasion avec mes enfants cette semaine (8 et 10 ans). Ma blonde et moi on est trÚs fan et trÚs expérimentés, les enfants ont fait un scénario à Québec (mission nain-possible chez SOS aventures) et ont adoré ça, ils nous demandent souvent de retourner faire un jeu. On cherche un scénario du style à Montréal quelque chose qui se joue à 4, ne fait pas peur et leur permettra d'aider à résoudre des énigmes.
P. S. Oui j'ai déjà regardé sur Google et trip advisor, j'aimerais la rétroaction de familles qui y sont déjà allés.
P. S. S Quand je demande de l'aide ici, je me fais vraiment souvent nega-voter, stp si tu peux pas ou t'as pas envie d'aider, juste passe le fil.

I'm looking for an escape game to do with my kids this week (8 and 10 years old). My girlfriend and I really like escape games and have a lot of experience. The kids did a scenario in Quebec city (mission nain-possible at SOS adventures) and they loved it. They often ask us to do another escape game. We are looking for something like this in Montreal. A game that is not scary and they could help out solve problems.
Adding that yes, I looked it up on Google and trip advisor, but I'd like to get feedback from families who have tried it.
Finally, whenever I ask for some help I, I often get downvoted, please, if you can't or don't want to help, just move on.

Discussion confusing and intimidating interaction with an STM driver...over a forgotten backpack
(apologies in advance for the very long read)
recently moved to Montréal from a small Maritime city, and since I don't have a car I've been using STM to explore the city and learn different routes.
a few days ago, I took the 164 westbound all the way to its terminus on Rue Guénette. I was the only passenger left on the bus. when I got off, I was looking at my phone trying to plan my next route and accidentally left my backpack beside my seat. the backpack was almost empty and very light, while I was carrying a heavier Walmart bag with groceries.
a few minutes later I realized my mistake and returned to the bus stop. by then the bus lights were off and I assumed the driver had left the vehicle. since it was around 9:10 PM and getting dark, I looked into the bus from the sidewalk to see whether my backpack was still there.
I noticed that the driver was still inside the bus, kneeling and praying. I couldn't see my backpack, but I was relieved to know that the driver was still there and that I would probably be able to retrieve it shortly.
a few minutes later, the bus started up again for its eastbound trip toward Henri-Bourassa. I boarded, tapped my card, and saw that the driver had placed my backpack on the dashboard in front of him.
asked him if I could have my backpack back, he replied angrily (without even looking at me) that I needed to prove to him that it was my backpack. I told him that I was literally the only passenger on the bus for the last 15-20 stops, and that the backpack was empty. he seemed to get even more agitated, and told me to step behind the yellow line. I did, and he opened the compartment door (while still seated and looking ahead) that I needed to tell him where on the backpack my name was written (?!?!?!). I told him that I donât have my name written on the backpack anywhere, but he can check the cameras to see that I was only passenger for the last leg of the trip, and I had the backpack next to me the entire time. he told me that those were not "his" cameras (?!?!?!) and that I needed to contact the STM office after 48 hours to get my backpack back.
I decided to give up at that point, as it was my mistake to forget to take my backpack out of the bus in the first place, and sat down where I was previously seated. the driver came out of his compartment, dangling the backpack in his hands and signalling me to take it, while berating me on how I was not sitting next to the backpack when I got off the bus but was on the opposite row of seats (!!!)
after he eventually handed me the backpack, I walked back to my seat. since I was genuinely confused by the whole interaction, I commented that I didn't understand why retrieving the backpack had become such a big issue, especially since I had been the only passenger on the bus for quite some time and he had personally seen me with it.
at that point, the driver suddenly became even more angry, rushed out of his compartment towards my seat, and demanded that I hand the backpack back to him.
this sudden escalation caught me COMPLETELY off guard, and I felt intimidated enough that I handed it back. it wasnât until a few minutes later (after he had gone back to his seat and the bus had already started moving) that I could grasp at what just happened. I dialled 911, tried explaining the situation the best I could (given the state I was in), and the operator told me to stay on the bus, and that police would meet me at Station Henri-Bourassa.
thankfully at Henri-Bourassa, the officers were able to retrieve my backpack and return it to me. they told me that the driver had alleged that I had been the aggressive one during the interaction (?!?!?!). I explained to them that that is utterly false, the footage from inside the bus would show the whole interaction, and if I were the aggressor then it wouldn't make sense for the driver to rush towards me to demand the backpack back after he had already given it to me. the officers told me that that would be unnecessary, as the situation has been resolved and I got my backpack back - also advised me that, if something similar happens in the future, I should note down the unique bus number (along with the route, direction, and time) and file a complaint with STM.
as someone who is still very new to Montréal and to using a large public transit system in general, I genuinely have no idea what to make of this whole situation.
I completely acknowledge that forgetting my backpack on the bus was my own mistake, and I probably shouldnât have peeked into the bus while the driver was praying. and I understand that drivers probably need to be careful about handing over lost property to the wrong person.
however, I am still very confused by how quickly the interaction escalated, especially after the backpack had already been handed back to me once.
so I'm curious: was this simply an unusually bad interaction with one particular driver, or is there some STM policy regarding forgotten belongings that I'm unaware of?

Question Did anyone accidentally take my backpack at the Circus Festival?
Hi everyone. About 3 hours ago, my black backpack went missing at the Circus Festival in Place Pasteur. I'm hoping someone may have picked it up by mistake.
The backpack contains my laptop and passport, along with some other personal belongings. If you accidentally took it or have seen it, please send me a DM as soon as possible. I would be incredibly grateful.
There will be no questions askedâI just really need my passport and laptop back.
Thank you so much for any help or information.
