Improvement of transit services in the Rosemont/Petite-Patrie Borough
Line 127 – Maisonneuve-Rosemont returns

Montreal, November 6, 2003 –  The 127 Maisonneuve-Rosemont bus route will be in service again – starting November 10 next – thanks to the renewal of the partnership between the Société de transport de Montréal and the Maisonneuve-Rosemont hospital.

Line 127 offers a shuttle service Monday to Friday from 7:10 a.m. to 8:25 a.m., and from 4:10 p.m. to 5:25 p.m. The bus will depart from the Assomption métro station, making its first stop across from the Maisonneuve Pavilion and its second stop in front of the Rosemont Pavilion on Rosemont boulevard. It will then return directly to the métro.

This joint initiative between the health institution and the Société de transport de Montréal is designed to increase the use of public transit by the hospital’s 4,500 employees and the more than 300,000 visitors annually to its outpatient clinics.
