The wait for a bus in Montreal just got longer
Before the pandemic hit, the transit authority offered the “10 minute max” service on 31 lines.
Ridership levels had been on a steady increase since 2017 — but in 2020, as lockdowns were put in place and more people worked from home, bus ridership plummeted. “With new travel habits, the addition of preferential measures or the arrival of major public transit projects such as the SRB Pie-IX, the REM or the extension of the blue line, we are completing an internal exercise to review all of our service families and we have undertaken a redesign of the bus network in the recent years to make it even more attractive and better adapted to changes on the Island of Montréal,” Lord-Dufour explained.
