Super Late STM outrage

Ok, So I know I am probably extremely late on this one, but my boyfriend just informed me that you now have to pay 3$ to come back from Longueuil metro even if you have an opus card. Sort of similar to how you have to have to pay if you want to come back from Laval on the metro even though you were able to get there using your opus card.
 I had no idea about this although my roommate told me it has been going on since the summer. In any case, this is absolutely ridiculous and preposterous. I already knew about the Laval thing, but this new limitation to the metro system is just so irritating. Especially since the STM already charges a lot for monthly opus card passes and the metro lines hardly cover every inch of Montreal.
Reasons this new STM Longueuil stuff is idiocy:
1) It is COMPLETELY ILLOGICAL that a person can get somewhere with a certain type of metro pass and not be able to get back from that place with the same type of metro pass USING THE SAME METRO AND THE SAME TRANSPORTATION SERVICE.
2) I also fail to understand how this is supposed to encourage people to use the metro! The STM runs all these annoying add campaigns about how using public transportation is so important and everyone should use it. It would seem like putting even more limitations on the metro system and forcing people who live on the South Shore to buy "special" monthly fares (by special I mean twice the price) in order to use the Montreal metro. This is completely counter-productive if they actually want people to abandon their cars and start using the smelly, expensive, thousand-degree metro.
3) Isn't public transportation supposed to be affordable to everyone? (especially poor people who can't afford cars, and students, like myself) It is already so expensive, I can't believe individual tickets are now up to 3$ each.  Ugghhh.
IN CONCLUSION: The STM, as is customary with most organizations in Montreal and Quebec in general, is a backwards, illogical, money-making enterprise that is hypocritical at best and cares little or nothing about the multitudes of Montrealers who are forced to use its "services" on a daily basis.

Just as an aside, now that I've gotten myself started about the metro. This is just a message to all the users of the metro (and especially those who use the BLUE LINE who seem to be the most clueless about this simple rule):
DO NOT stand directly in front of the doors when people are trying to get out and ABSOLUTELY DO NOT try to enter the metro car before the people who are trying to get off have done so! Come on, this is common sense and basic human decency. Please stop being ignorant and move your dumb self to the side to let others get off before you squash yourself into the metro car!
