		<description>I asked the STM about the 212, and if anybody is curious to know, here is the answer:

We received your inquiry regarding the possible new line 212 in the west island. Currently we’re working on mitigation measures for the Turcot interchange construction and a new line should be established within the framework of this project, which would be very similar to line 212 presented some years ago. We hope to service this line from the beginning of construction of the interchange, to encourage people to use public transit instead of taking their car. There are still details to be finalized, like the exact streets that will be borrowed by this new line. You&#039;ll have more details on this new line on the STM internet page as soon as we launch this line.

Thank you for your interest in public transit.

Have a good day</description>

		<description>Not in the near future. A route would still need to be approved by the board of directors, and that hasn&#039;t happened.</description>

		<description>After at least 6 YEARS of waiting, the STM has finally fixed the stupid schedule of the 261.
 
In case you did not read the announcement:
http://www.stm.info/English/info/comm-10/a-co100831.htm
 
And the new schedule:
http://www.stm.info/English/bus/Planibus/261.pdf
 
Does that mean I should sell my car? :)
I have sorta gotten used to it now.</description>

		<description>I am drooling over the 212 idea. I love the Two Mounts line over the Dorion line. I right now drive to the Dorion Train line (Pointe-Claire) station as its one of the only West Island Train Stations that still has parking in the late morning.

I can&#039;t wait to take the 212 bus from my street all the way to Pierrefonds train station. No more spending money on gas driving. No more trying to find parking. I just hope the STM doesn&#039;t F*** this up like they did with the 261 Trainbus. 

The 261 has two major issues:
1) In the morning, they have scheduled it to arrive 5 minuets or less before the Train is scheduled to arrive. God forbid there is traffic on St. Charles and the bus arrives 1 minuet late after the last train of the morning departs Beaconsfield. Cause that never ever happens.....
2) The last departure of the 261 Trainbus from Beaconsfield is at around 6:45PM. The problem with that is that there is still one more train. That last rush hour train doesn&#039;t arrive at Beaconsfield until 7:05PM. Ooops. I am sure you can guess which train I am on. Please no lame comments about taking an earlier train. I would if I could.</description>

		<description>Merging the 207 with the 208 is a horrible idea.  It&#039;s bad enought that the 207 takes 25 minutes to get to fairview with a 30 minute wait between buses.  It makes no sense to break the connection between the terminal and the ONLY bus that leaves Ile Bizard on a regular basis.  For John Abbott students, this sounds like a major hassle - two transfers?  Taking the metro from Cote Vertu would be pointless since you would have to transfer once just to get to fairview, then take an overcrowded bus to the metro.  This may be a blessing for people headed to Des Sources but anyone going elsewhere (which I believe is a decent majority) will be living a nightmare.  I do believe it&#039;s time to invest in a car.</description>

		<description>merging the 207-208 is a brilliant idea. that would mean all the Des Sources highschool kids can go directly to school without  loitering at fairview. To get to fairview you just have to change buses at De salaberry. i live on Ile Bizard and work on Sources i always have at least twenty minutes between the time i finish work and the next bus then a ten minute wait between transfers. It is faster to ride by bicycle 14 km than take the buses(in spring, summer and fall)  The 207-208 will be a blessing.</description>
