La gouvernance métropolitaine du transport collectif dans la région montréalaise : le cas du SRB Pie-IX
Montreal talks to have a rapid bus service for ten years. In 2015, work to produce the first draft of the section called SRB Pie-IX just beginning. How to justify delays in carrying out several years while other cities get there in less than 3 years? Several elected officials and Montreal organizations denounce a problem of governance of public transit. It’s is not easy to grasp the significance of this concept so often invoked to justify, among others, the difficulties to realize metropolitan projects. Some point to the government's responsibility, others argue the poor distribution of roles and responsibilities or regrets too many players in the metropolitan area. Governance is a concept both blurred and complex that seeks to establish the conduct of public affairs like the management of metropolitan public transit. However, the transit system involves a multitude of stakeholders with conflicting interests. The 'good governance' would be to establish a fruitful collaboration that goes beyond the limits of institutionalized stakeholders to achieve metropolitan scale projects, such as the project SRB Pie-IX.
