STM - Society in motion
No need to wait, after midnight, there’s a night bus !
First introduced in 1988 and consisting of 20 bus routes, our nighttime network was redesigned to meet the current needs of night workers and young transit users.
Mission accomplished.

Affordable, fast and safe, 23 bus routes criss-cross the city from east to west, north to south, seven nights a week.
Upgrading our nighttime service means:
- Three new bus routes
- Better frequency of service
- Fewer transfers
- Improvements to nine bus routes
It also means an additional 43,000 hours of service a year, a 73% increase over last year.
This is the second step in the STM’s overhaul of bus services, following the introduction of the 10 minutes max network last year.
Ideal for night workers, festival-goers and night owls alike.

Michel Labrecque:
Day and night, the STM works for you.
One example? Our night bus network. For the longest time, it was basically used to take our drivers to the depot, where they picked up their buses to start their routes. But in the past few years, the night network has been used more and more by night workers and night owls alike. Over the past few months, the STM has been putting all its efforts into improving the night network. We consider it very important. What have we done? There used to be 20 night routes, and now we’ll have 23. We made improvements to the itinerary of nine routes. And we also increased the frequency on 10 of them. For example, on René-Lévesque, buses will go by at 15-minute intervals. Sure, it isn’t “10 minutes max,” but you have to admit, every 15 minutes in the middle of the night can come in pretty handy. Overall, we’ve improved night service by 75%, and it’s available seven days a week.
Join the society in motion. Take a night bus after midnight. And good night!
Hello there! It’s Wednesday evening. I don’t see why they must have buses that run overnight.
I don’t take public transit overnight. Another thing, I must tell the STM 2 things:
-They must improve service to the Blue Line. The Blue Line is very slow. I mean like, one time I was at Snowdon and waiting for a train going to Saint-Michel and it took about 15 minutes for the train to arrive.
-They must improve their public adress system. For the platforms, they’d close small groups of stations. As follows
~1-Green: 1-Cadillac to Beaugrand (trains would end at Assomption) 2- Cadillac to Berri 3-Berri to Lionel-Groulx 4-Lionel-Groulx to Angrignon (trains would end at Atwater/Lionel-Groulx)
~2-Orange: 1-Montmorency to Henri-Bourassa (trains would end at Sauvé) 2-Henri-Bourassa to Jean-Talon 3-Jean-Talon to Berri 4-Berri to Lucien-L’Allier 5-Lucien-L’Allier to Vendôme 6-Vendôme to Snowdon 7-Snowdon to Côte-Vertu(trains would end at Villa-Maria/Snowdon)
~5-Blue: 1-Saint-Michel to Jean-Talon(trains would end at De Castelneau) 2- Jean-Talon to Parc
3- Parc to Snowdon (trains would end at Parc)
~4-Yellow: Being done overnight only

Il semble y avoir un problème avec la vidéo intégrée à la nouvelle. Celle-ci doit se télécharger en entier avant de commencer à jouer — c’est long !
