The terracotta color is used when we wish to emphasize to vehicles and residents that the lanes are reserved for buses at all times. These lanes are therefore reserved lanes for buses operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.


Work related to the implementation of the BRT is financed by the Ministère des Transports du Québec. The City of Montréal will also finance part of the project depending on the nature of the work.
