CHALLENGES IN MONTREAL’S PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM FOR ENGLISH SPEAKERS

Submitted by Suleman Arshad on

Canada is officially a bilingual country with English and French as its national languages. However, in practice, the use of both languages in public services varies across provinces. While cities like Ottawa maintain a bilingual public transportation system, ensuring announcements and signs are available in both English and French, Montreal poses a unique challenge for those who do not speak French especially for individuals with disabilities like myself.
