Montreal's transit authority (STM) is extending the hours when dogs and bikes are allowed on the metro. As of April 15, bikes and dogs are welcome on board Monday to Friday from opening hours to 7 a.m., from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and from 6 p.m. to close. Bikes and dogs are permitted at all hours on weekends, as usual.

The change is part of a pilot project running until Nov. 15, when the STM will decide whether to keep it up.
When boarding, cyclists and dog owners are advised to avoid the lead car as this space is usually reserved for school groups and people with disabilities.
Dogs must be muzzled and leashed, and only one pup per person is allowed. The same thing goes for bikes (well, not the muzzle and leash part).
Restrictions will get even looser this summer: from May 20 to August 20, bikes and dogs will be permitted at all hours.
