Saint-Jérôme is an intermodal bus and commuter train station in Saint-Jérôme, Quebec, Canada. It serves bus routes operated by the CIT Laurentides, a suburban transit agency, and by two intercity bus companies. In addition to loading areas for buses, it includes a train platform which is used by commuter trains of the Blainville-Saint-Jerome Line of the Agence métropolitaine de transport, or AMT (in English, the Metropolitan transportation agency), the umbrella organization that plans, integrates, and coordinates public transportation services in the Greater Montreal, Quebec, Canada area. Commuter trains towards Montreal began to serve the station on Monday, January 8, 2007, with four (of 10) trains in each direction each business day.[1]
