I guess this is a common 2017 theme, STLevis union has advised the transit management that they intend to go on strike on August 28 at 5am. Also note that STLevis is not subject to the essential service law

11248 milliseconds ... that the time it has taken my brain to realize that i don't have the answer to that question

CTRP will bonify it's service starting August 14th The interesting bonification is that there will be a mid-morning trip from Saint-Marc-des-Carrières and Saint-Raymond leaving at around 10am, this could be useful for students that have only half a day at the college. They will also operate a against the flow trip starting at 8:15am to both destination (that a meh upgrade) Also students will get a 50% discount on the CTRP monthly pass

Breaking news: Due to the truckload of events happening in Montreal over the week-end, free transit on the STM network on both Saturday July 29 and Sunday july 30

I smell that Express Lotbinière has some more second hand stuff coming their way !. Seriously ... with 10 trips each way between Saint-Jérôme and Tremblant ... this service is actually becoming very good

I would personally prefer a fall color charter with a STO Classic. The bus fan community will already have visited Gatineau for the CTHF New Look Charter in July

A Big revolution (sarcasm level over 9000 here) for the metro station, starting monday, Jean-Talon metro ticket booth will accept payment ... by debit / credit card ... as a pilot project ! * *also they will replace OPUS card directly at the ticket booth Link (in french) http://www.tvanouvelles.ca/2017/06/12/la-stm-testera-le-paiement-par-carte-au-changeur-1

Stumble on that, a very good deal on Week-end travel to Niagara Falls. Round trip ticket on the GO Train + Two Days WEGO pass for 25$ per adult (a GO one-way is 20$ so ...) , children and family package also avaliable Check: https://www.niagaraparks.com/visit-niagara-parks/plan-your-visit/deals-toronto/

STM will modify the 747 bus service for the summer period, service is gonna be more frequent, as high as every 4 to 5 minutes between each bus during the afternoon. But between 11am and 7pm, about every second bus will shorturn at Lionel-Groulx station from the airport. Same thing to the airport, about half the bus will start from Lionel-Groulx http://www.stm.info/sites/default/files/planibus_juin2017/fr/747.pdf

Route 1 remains intact (as it does serve a totally different area) ... Route 21, 1A and 111 are abolished to make place to the new 11

Also remember that Renaissance cars needs absolutely two cars to operate in passenger service, they need either a luggage car / transition car AND a service car . If they deadhead, they still need either the luggage or transition car since knukle are not the same as the rest of the VIA fleet
