STM - Society in motion
You can now ride public transit every night aboard one of 23 bus lines, as a number of service improvements were made to the night network.
Three new bus routes were established: in the east end, the 353 – Lacordaire / Maurice-Duplessis; in the west end, the 354 – Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue / Centre-ville and the 376 – Pierrefonds / Centre-ville.
For faster and more efficient transportation, night buses run more often between Atwater and Frontenac metro stations, as the night network was redesigned to meet the specific needs of customers travelling in the downtown area.
Moreover, nine existing bus lines are extended for improved commuting, from east to west, north to south, and within the central part of the island. Buses run more frequently, while the number of transfers is now considerably lower, making your transit rides both faster and safer.
Listen carefully for a radio ad campaign featuring our message about the advantages of the night bus, broadcast by major French and English-speaking radio stations.Listen there: STM-Night time service
Once your night shift is over, ride the 353, 354, 355… or any other one in the 3-5-0…
Let’s see. If I was to leave the corner of Lacordaire and Leger, take the STM and travel to Verdun I’m looking at 1hr 30mins according to the STM calculator. In reality it would take more time than that because we know how poor the buses are. They come by about once ever 45mins to an hr, they don’t connect on time with other bus routes and many times buses leave late, too early before you arrive or don’t show up at all so we are looking at least 2hrs in realty.
On the other hand by using a car, I can make the same trip within about 35-45mins.
Do the math and it’s obvious that using a car is better than using poor quality public transportation.

@Andre It is not everybody is working on day so it is not everybody is asleep at night. And it is not everybody dislikes them. That’s it!

Why have night buses? Everybody is asleep at night. NOBODY’S LIKELY TO USE THEM. So if nobody’s likely to use them, WHY HAVE THEM?
