Over 130 people walked onto the tracks last year, alone, often to pick up a dropped item, most of which is their cell phone.
Well, the good folks at STM are here for you, Montreal!
As part of their awareness campaign, STM will be handing out dummy strings velcro straps at various stations throughout the metro network.
The straps are made to loop around your phone case, and hand - providing you extra security from your butterfingers.

Still, STM advises riders to call an STM employee if/when something falls onto the tracks! Crews will also collect fallen items overnight that can be picked up the following day.
Don't be foolish and screw up someone else's daily commute.
