[Talk-ca] Montréal: Inconsistency in Public Transportation Provider's Name

Hi everyone,


I'm new to this list so please forgive me if this topic has already been
discussed.

In Montréal, the public transportation provider is the "Societé de
transport de Montréal", more commonly known as STM. Some (the minority)
nodes use the full name, all the others use the acronym. it would be great
to get rid of that discrepancy.

If I had to give my opinion on the matter, I'd say "STM" is more
appropriate as almost everything is branded under the "STM" name (for
instance the website is https://stm.info, their Facebook page is called
"STM - Mouvement collectif"), so that's the name people use. I think that
also explains why "STM" is way more common as operator value than the full
name.


Regards,
Damien
