A new bus network in Verdun, Sud-Ouest and south Ville-Marie

Lines 150 René-Lévesque, whose frequency will be improved, and 24 Sherbrooke bus line run in the downtown area, as does the métro’s Green line, which exits directly onto Sainte-Catherine Street.

The 35 Griffintown route will be modified and extended westward to facilitate access to downtown from the Sud-Ouest area. See the map at the bottom of the page for the new route.

The 36 Monk route will be modified to provide better service to the Sud-Ouest’s commercial axes and for the École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS). See the map at the bottom of the page for the new route.

The 37 Jolicoeur route will be split at De l’Église métro station. Service will be maintained on Jolicoeur, and the new 38 De l’Église line will run on De l’Église. The line will also be extended to LaSalle métro station.

See the map at the bottom of the page for the new route.

To accommodate the changes to 37 Jolicoeur, this line will serve De l’Église Street between De l’Église and Vendôme métro stations, linking the Sud-Ouest, Verdun and Westmount boroughs, as well as Verdun Hospital and MUHC.

See the map at the bottom of the page for the new route.

The line will become 57 Charlevoix. Look for the label below in the bus windshield to make sure you’re boarding the right bus.

To compensate for this change, service frequency on the 107 Verdun will increase and the route will be extended in the LaSalle borough, covering a larger area and providing a direct connection to downtown.

The 61 Wellington will continue to run on Wellington Street to provide local service.

The 61 Wellington route will be modified east of LaSalle Boulevard. The short line on Du Centre and Peel will be maintained. See the map at the bottom of the page for the new route.

The 71 Du Centre route will be extended south to De l’Église métro station and north to Guy-Concordia métro station, which are both on the Line 1 - Green line. See the map at the bottom of the page for the new route.

The line will become 50 Vieux-Montréal/Vieux-Port. The number will be changed to indicate its new status as a regular bus line, rather than a tourist shuttle.

No. The bus network redesign affects daytime service only.

Despite our best efforts to optimize service, the reality is that changing a bus network as big as the STM’s will make some trips more efficient and others less so.

In some cases, that might mean a longer walk or an extra bus transfer. However, our current network usage data indicates that the redesign will benefit six times more trips than it will inconvenience.

Most bus shelters of stops relocated in the redesign will be moved elsewhere in the area. That said, since there are many bus shelters that need to be relocated, and it’s a technically complex process (pour the concrete slabs, hook up the electricity, etc.), some bus shelters will not be replaced until after the launch of the redesign in late August 2024.

The delivery schedule and plans for that REM station, including access to it, have not yet been published by CDPQ Infra. The STM is working closely with the project teams involved to make sure the local bus network will be able to connect to the REM.
