Montréal, June 5, 1997 - The métro turned 30 on October 14 of this year. Because of the ageing and wear on its facilities and in order to properly maintain this collective patrimony evaluated at close to 4 billion dollars, the STCUM is undertaking several major renovations.

New Times for the STCUM!

Montréal, June 5, 1997 - As of next June 16, STCUM bus schedules will be modified in relation to the variations in the number of commutes brought about by nice weather, and also because of the introduction of INTERLIGNE, a new schedule management system. Developed from the principle of busy periods, it will allow the STCUM to establish route schedules in relation to demand and no longer on a north-south, south-north round-trip basis.
