System Changes and new service for fall

Fall service: Starting August 28, 2023

The Rapibus corridor extension to boulevard Lorrain comes into service, along with new trip options. The circuits for routes 18, 68, 73, 74, 75, 77, 78, 79, 88, 93, 94, 97, 400 and 800 will be modified to take advantage of the new infrastructures.

In addition, given the significant population growth and increased demands on the STO, service revisions for the Plateau and Manoir des Trembles sectors will come into effect this fall.

Update: since November 13, routes 93 and 95 no longer run on Montée Paiement and will instead join the Rapibus corridor via Boulevard Lorrain. These changes were made for safety and scheduling reasons.

The main changes:

• Labrosse and Lorrain sectors;
• Buckingham and Masson-Angers sectors;
• Plateau and Manoir des Trembles sectors;
• Rapibus routes
• Other service adjustments;
• Weekend service levels.
