Presently, STL runs 34 routes, plus the AMT's 902 Express Route in Laval. 24 bus routes start and end at Henri-Bourassa (Montreal Metro), and 3 (including express 902) at Côte-Vertu (Montreal Metro), the respective ends of the Orange Line. Although there are no night routes on the STL, some of the daytime bus routes go up to 3:30 a.m. The STL also operates 10 collective taxi routes [1].

[edit] Metro

The Montreal Metro is being extended into Laval, and will connect with STL at three new stations:

Cartier (Nearby intersections: Cartier Blvd/Laurentides Blvd, Cartier Blvd/Major St)
De la Concorde (Nearby intersections: Concorde Blvd/Ampere Ave, Concorde Blvd/Laval Blvd)
Montmorency (Nearby intersections: Jean-Noel-Lavoie St/Lucien-Paiement St, Jean-Noel-Lavoie St/De l'Avenir Blvd)
