Exo

Exo, the public transit authority operating commuter trains and buses across the greater Montreal area, is cutting 73 positions representing 11% of its workforce as part of a three-year optimization plan mandated by the Quebec government to reduce spending by $100 million annually by 2028. Management and customer service departments are expected to be hit hardest, with only 16% of the layoffs coming from vacant positions and the remainder involving elimination of currently occupied roles.
