Smoke Bombs Shut Down Montreal Rail; Security Increased
Montrealers using the métro system will see an increased police and transit authority security presence on their station platforms after a trio of smoke bombs shut down the system on Thursday.
Société de transport de Montréal chairperson Michel Labrecque said the transit authority’s security force also would be more visible, and STM employees had been told to be on the lookout for any suspicious behaviour.
