The Instagram post was by Vincent Leblanc, 20, a self-proclaimed "adrenaline junkie."
He told MTL Blog: "I’m from New Brunswick and we don’t have any metros over there, it’s always been on my bucket list to flip onto a train or a bus, so I had to do it when I got to Montreal."
Leblanc captioned the Instagram post, "when you’re late but karma’s a bitch."
In a statement shared with MTL Blog, the STM said that it's "aware of this video and the information is already in the hands of [its] Safety and control team."
"The STM strongly condemns such acts, which are extremely dangerous," it continued.
"It could have led to serious injury or even death, and/or damaged the train and cause a metro interruption."
