Earlier this month, metro operators from across Europe, Latin America, and North America came together in Montréal for the COMET 2025 Western Meeting. There were 27 attendees from 16 organisations gathered to exchange knowledge and good practices.
During the meeting, participants shared insights and explored key challenges and innovations shaping the future of urban transit, including fiscal resilience, safety and security strategies, service performance drivers, renewal projects, and the evolving impact of automation.

A highlight of the meeting was the behind-the-scenes tour of the Montréal STM network, offering a close-up look at station operations and maintenance facilities.
