Its Concern for Women's Safety in the City Leads the STCUM to Make it's Between Two Stops Service Permanent
Montréal, December 16, 1996 - In view of its successful six-month trial run, the STCUM is happy to advise its female ridership that the Entre deux arrêts (Between Two Stops) project is now a permanent service. Thus, women travelling alone after 9:00 p.m. can ask the bus driver to be let off between two stops of a regular route at a location they judge to be safer.
Transfers: A One-Way Trip
Montréal, December 12, 1996 - Effective January 1st, the following rules will apply to the use of transfers: commuters who take a transfer will no longer be able to use it to make a round trip or to temporarily interrupt their commute and resume their trip on the same route. As is the case in most major North American public transit companies, transfers will permit them to board another vehicle in order to complete a trip and, as before, within a 90-minute period.
