Extension of the route for line 61 Wellington to Verdun and LaSalle, and line 114 Angrignon to LaSalle and Lachine starting from March 24th.
Montréal, March 13, 2025 – The Société de transport de Montréal (STM) is announcing changes to the 61 Wellington and 114 Angrignon bus routes as of March 24.
“Based on our observations on the ground and the needs expressed by customers in the area, we’ll be making some adjustments to these routes,” says STM Board Chair Éric Alan Caldwell. “We’re fortunate that buses offer this flexibility. We know our customers in southwestern Montréal have had to adapt to many changes since the bus network redesign last summer. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the Boroughs of Verdun, LaSalle and Lachine for working with us on these changes.”
Says Mayor of LaSalle Nancy Blanchet, “The Borough of LaSalle is very pleased about the route extension for bus 61, formerly bus 58. It will make it easier to travel between Village des Rapides and Verdun. Today’s announcement is the result of a fine collaboration between residents, elected LaSalle officials, and the STM. We represented and consulted local residents, and the STM made changes in response to the needs expressed, particularly the need for better access to services such as the Verdun hospital and the stores and businesses on Wellington Street. We’re very happy with the changes to the 61 Wellington and 114 Angrignon routes and are hopeful that they’ll meet the needs of our local residents.”
“Extending the route of bus 114 to Saint-Pierre is a real win for the people living in that neighbourhood,” says Mayor of Lachine Maja Vodanović. “It will make it faster for them to get to the shopping mall and Angrignon station.”
“The Borough of Verdun is thrilled about the STM’s changes to the 61 bus route,” says Mayor of Verdun Marie-Andrée Mauger. “The extra stops will make it easier for people living in the Crawford area to get to the stores and businesses on Wellington Street. The changes will also improve service to the Verdun hospital. This is the borough’s first bus network redesign in 30 years, and the STM has been doing a lot of listening and adjusting since it came into effect in the fall. We’re pleased with the improvements and hope the people of Verdun are as well.”
The changes illustrate the STM’s agility and ability to adapt, particularly when it comes to the bus network. The transit agency is focused on managing its resources as effectively and efficiently as possible and is once again demonstrating its ability to listen to customers and be a leader in mobility.
Extension of the 61 Wellington bus route in Verdun and LaSalle
The extension of the 61 bus route will cover much of the old 58 route, making it easier to travel between southern LaSalle and Verdun’s Wellington Street. The new route will improve access to Wellington Street and the Verdun hospital, among other benefits.
Extension of the 114 Angrignon bus route in LaSalle and Lachine
Extending the 114 bus route to Saint-Pierre will make it easier to get to Angrignon station, cutting down the total travel time by 8–10 minutes, reducing the walking distance, and eliminating the need to cross the Saint-Pierre interchange on foot. There will also be late night and weekend service on Elmslie Street for people working in the area.
Communications campaign
A digital campaign to share the news with STM customers launched this morning and will continue for some time. There will also be posters at bus stops starting March 17 to inform customers travelling on the affected routes. The STM is inviting customers to use the trip planner tool on its website home page to see how the routes will change as of March 24.

About the bus network redesign
In 2018, with the public’s transportation needs in flux and the arrival of major public transit projects such as the REM and the Blue line extension, the STM began looking at ways to make its surface network more efficient and attractive, using five guiding principles to inform its approach. The rollout of the bus network redesign for the West Island is ongoing, with changes slated for the Centre-Nord and West Island scheduled to coincide with the arrival of the REM in fall 2025.
