Open House for the New Bus Service in Verdun, Sud-Ouest and Ville-Marie-Sud

Montréal, June 18, 2024 – Following the recent announcement of the new bus service in the greater Sud-Ouest area, more specifically in Sud-Ouest, Verdun and Ville-Marie-Sud, the STM is inviting customers to an open house on Thursday, June 20, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Comité d'éducation aux adultes de la Petite-Bourgogne et de Saint-Henri (CÉDA), located at 2515 Delisle Street in Montréal (near Lionel-Groulx métro station).

The open house will give members of the public the opportunity to learn more about the new bus service. Representatives from the STM will be available to answer any questions. Residents interested in attending can register here. For those unable to attend, the STM will also have an information booth near De l’Église métro station during the July 20 event celebrating the start of car-free season on Promenade Wellington.

A location-based information campaign is currently underway in the boroughs to familiarize residents with the new service. Through online and social media ads and posters on buses and in the métro, the campaign invites customers to use a special trip planner to explore the new routes.

The trip planner will compare old and new routes and recommend itineraries to help customers prepare for the changes set to come into effect on August 26. The STM is encouraging customers to go to explore the tool and familiarize themselves with the new bus routes.

Additionally, the STM is updating its bus stop signage to reflect the new routes and is planning to have representatives on the ground during the first few weeks to inform customers of the changes.
