A similar computer failure caused a service shut down on all lines for about 50 minutes on April 2. On 13 March, another computer failure also caused a service interruption on all lines.
In April, the STM president Michel Labrecque blamed the failure of the network on a new computer system. “In the first year of a new computer system, there are bugs, and we are trying to find patches to fix them,” he said.
