As a way to promote public transit use, the Montréal Canadiens are joining forces with Société de transport de Montréal to offer a shuttle bus service for West Island residents after all Canadiens home games. With this service, regular users of the commuter train can now avoid taking their car downtown on game nights! When: After each game until the end of the season Where: Outside the Bell Centre, on Saint-Antoine St. next to Jean-D’Estrées St. Direction: West Island, with buses making three stops only Departures: 15 minutes after the end of a game (after the siren blows) Cost: A valid STM fare or single cash fare ($2.75 full fare, $1.75 reduced fare, exact change only). Stops: 1 – Dorval terminus 2 – Pointe Claire train station, 211-221 bus stop 3 – Fairview terminus, 200 bus stop  A partnership for the environment This service stems from a partnership agreement between the STM and the Montréal Canadiens hockey club, as part of the latter’s initiative, The Goal is Green. The partnership will translate into actions, at each game, aimed at raising awareness among the club’s employees and fans about the use of public transportation and the positive impact that can have on the environment. Go Green contest In light of this partnership, and as a way of reaching their goal, the hockey club holds an online contest, Go Green STM, on its website The Goal is Green. Each month, contestants have a chance to win one of three OPUS cards charged with a monthly fare for the month following the draw. The contest will close at the end of the regular hockey season. |
