Samuel Miriello created the Sam Miriello Show (SMS) in early 2021 to fill the need for a gap in coverage towards community initiatives. In Sam’s coverage, he usually focuses on activism, issues facing our community, and organizations aiding different people and communities in the Montreal area. With experience as a student, having organized demonstrations, creating a media outlet and striving to make various changes in the community, Sam has good connections with various people in the greater Montreal area and aims to highlight underreported events and actions in the community.

In this video, we will be talking about MUST's success at McGill and how they did it. Alexis Jo joins the SMS to discuss Must Bus and how it got started. Must Bus will be the first student-run transportation system in North America. They will provide $40 trips to Toronto, Ottawa, Boston, and New York City in order

Trips from Montreal to New York City average to around $100, but Must Bus provides affordable services through not being profit-centred, but being focused around affordability.

As a result of COVID-19, greyhound is facing bankruptcy, allowing room in the market for Must Bus. Last year Must Bus offered a trip to New York City for around $30-35 dollars, a competitive price to greyhound.
