I do not live in NDG but I do go there for appointments and my volunteer work! I am a senior who has had hip replacement surgery and I am waiting for both knees to be operated on. To look at me you would think oh she is a strong healthy specimen but I must sit as I can not balance myself and turning corners is a challenge even when sitting & I can not hold on as my shoulders are starting with the arthritis so keeping my arms up is difficult!!!

So crammed buses for ANYONE OF ANY AGE CAN BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM.Young person who may have a injury, young Mothers & someone just out of hospitla but must get to work.

As we age more & more of us will have these issues. I have to resort to buses as I can not do metros as I have extreme vertigo and balance issues. The alternative is to become a shut in and not contribute at all and probably end up in worse health & costly more in the long run.

Keep us healthy & involved, keep the environment cleaner and give us the service we need & pay for. CFosts keep going up and we all pay high taxes here in Quebec!

Also with the new MUHC opening the STM better get prepared!
