Press release

Métro line 4 - yellow
Work Begins on March 22

Montréal, March 19, 1997 - As of Saturday March 22, the STCUM will continue the restoration of the métro's line 4 - yellow tunnel. This workrequires the closing of the line between Montréal and Longueuil on Saturdays and Sundays until May 4, as well as on Easter Monday on March 31, 1997.

In order to make up for this inconvenience, the STCUM is setting up a special bus service, available on weekends when the line is closed, the 404 shuttle between the Papineau and Longueuil métro stations as well as the 404-A shuttle linking the McGill station to the Île-Sainte-Hélène station. The STCUM will offer a service similar to that of the métro by ensuring frequent bus departures as well as a high number of buses. The schedule of departures for the special bus shuttle service is as follows:
