the métro will remain open for this special event!


Montréal, , February 1, 2010
The Société de transport de Montréal (STM) is once again a partner in the MONTREAL HIGH LIGHTS Festival’s Nuit blanche, which will take place on the night of February 27-28.

THE MÉTRO WILL REMAIN OPEN ALL NIGHT ON THIS OCCASION
“The STM is pleased to announce that, in order to encourage thousands of festival-goers participating in the numerous activities of Nuit blanche to take public transit, métro service on this occasion will be offered all night long. Thus, throughout the night of February 27-28, métro service will be available to all transit users holding a valid fare,” stated Mr. Michel Labrecque, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Société.

NIGHT-TIME ROUTES
Keep in mind that the STM offers a night-time bus service that, when combined with the all-night operation of the métro, will result in a unique service offer on the night of February 27-28 for those presenting a valid transit fare.

For the times and routes of the night-time buses, clients should visit the STM’s Internet site www.stm.info , which also contains plenty of other useful information.

STM SHUTTLES TO THE HEART OF THE FESTIVAL
“It goes without saying that the STM is pleased to be able to lease its buses to the MONTREAL HIGH LIGHTS Festival at a special rate for the sixth consecutive year. This will enable organizers to provide festival-goers with a shuttle service between the various sites offering cultural presentations and other activities,” added Mr. Labrecque, who invited everyone to visit www.montrealenlumiere.com
