[edit] Routes

The STL runs some 40 routes, including the former AMT's, now STL's 902 Express Route in Laval. Most bus routes end at metro stations Cartier and Montmorency of the Orange Line. All buses go to at least one metro, except for lines 66, 402 and 403. There is now one night route on the STL, route 2. In addition some of the daytime bus routes go up to 3:30 a.m. The STL also operates 6 collective taxi routes (T03 - along Saulnier Street, T07 - Rangs Haut-St-François & St-Elzéar sectors, T10 - along av. des Perron, T11 - in Fabreville, T12 - in NW Chomedey and T14 from Laval West to Saint Eustache)[1].

In addition, the STL has added 2 trainbuses. The 402, which services residents in Fabreville, Laval West and Sainte-Dorothée. Its intention is to allow users to reach the Sainte-Dorothée train station. The 404, which also services residents in Sainte-Dorothée, allows users to reach the train station, which is operated by the AMT, to travel to Montreal. Both train-bus routes were inaugurated on April 28, 2007, the same day the Laval Metro was officially opened.

[edit] Metro

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

  • Cartier (Nearby intersections: Cartier Blvd/Laurentides Blvd, Cartier Blvd/Major St): 21 routes
  • De la Concorde (Nearby intersections: Concorde Blvd/Ampere Ave, Concorde Blvd/Laval Blvd): 3 routes
  • Montmorency (Nearby intersections: Jacques-Tétrault St/Lucien-Paiement St, Jacques-Tétrault St/De l'Avenir Blvd): 15 routes

[edit] Commuter rail

  • Du Ruisseau in Montreal. (1 route)
  • Bois-Franc in Montreal. (4 routes, including express 902)
  • Sainte-Dorothée (3 routes, including express 903, and 2 train-buses)
  • There are no STL routes on Île Bigras since most people that want to use public transit on this small island, either take the Deux-Montagnes Line to the Sainte-Dorothée station, or walk across the bridge to connect with nearby bus routes (26, 76, 402, 404 or 903).
