Car owners who reside on the island of Montreal pay more to register their vehicles than their counterparts who reside off-island. For 2015 the rates are:
On island the fee is $323.58.
Off island it’s $278.58.
That $45 difference is used to finance the cost public transit, according the SAAQ website. The cost of using public transit will also rise for 2015. A bus/metro pass will cost $82, a single ride $3.25.
The news isn’t all bad though. As we previously reported, SAAQ insurance rates will be dropping by 35% in 2016.
