SMS Posted April 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Use Google Maps traffic everyone. Please. EDR (emergency detour route) if Autoroute 10 east is blocked between Autoroutes 30 and 35 would be Highway 104. Simon, be warned that A25 bridge between Laval and Montreal is tolled. You will receive a lovely bill in the mail for roughly seven dollars. Finally, as mentioned above, confirmation of attendance is mandatory. Our St Jean charter will likely be at capacity. I may not be in a position to accept walk-ups on the day of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMS Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hope everyone has a great time this weekend. Are there any other charters planned for this summer besides the one in June? I won't make any decisions before the first of June, as that is the day that I shall pick my work for the summer board period. I may investigate the possibility of a STO Classic charter in the summer (A/C equipped therefore NOT ex-Calgary Transit). At the present moment, I am working in conjunction with the BHA on an activity with the Société de transport du Saguenay.
