Canada Day July
1st Montreal, June 27, 2008 – Because of the Canada Day parade being held in the streets of Montreal, some of the STM’s bus routes will be modified next Tuesday, July 1. As such, service will be suspended on both the 15 – Sainte-Catherine and the 150 – Ren�-L�vesque bus routes between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. The following bus routes will also be slightly modified at one time or another, between 9:30 a.m. and 3 p.m.: 57 – Pointe St-Charles, 66 – The Boulevard, 107 – Verdun, 165 – C�te-des-Neiges and 166 – Queen-Mary. In the métro, trains will be added on the 2 – Orange line, and service will be adjusted as needed on the 1 – Green and 4 – Yellow lines. Bicycles in the métro Because the parade will be followed by a mega-show at the Jazz Festival site, which will generate a significant increase in métro ridership, no bicycles will be allowed inside the métro from 10 a.m. until the end of service that night. The STM recommends that métro users purchase their return ticket ahead of time, to avoid waiting in line, as ridership levels are usually much heavier after such an event than before; this way, they can avoid any waiting in line. When planning their transportation, transit users should consult their Planibus or Infobus panel, or call A-U-T O-B-U-S (288-6287) for bus schedules at their stop. For other information, including travel directions, please call STM-INFO (786-4636). Bus timetables updated according to daily events are now available up to seven days in advance from the STM website at www.stm.info, ase well as more useful transit information. – 30 –
