Not so sure of the 72 extension... I think it will get 175'd ;) This line will be a success for sure (and by this I mean the 467).

The 67 is always busy no matter what time it is, day or night. I often take the 67 from the corner of Masson and St Michel so the express is great news (I can also use the St Joseph stop).

Most ridiculous is the 209 who had (still has? Haven’t taken it lately) buses passing at intervals alternating between 23 and 42 minutes… STM: the place where most buses run at st00p1d 12, 17, 22, 23, 25 or 32 minutes intervals, thus making it impossible for people to casually take the bus without having to look at a timetable when they know that with 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 minutes intervals, the buses will always pass at the same minutes past each hour.

What I've never figured out is why, on weekdays, the 150 runs roughly every 31-32 minutes, but on weekends, when there are fewer riders, it runs every 25 minutes.

But what did the STM board decide on improvements to the 164 and 174 last month. And does anyone know when they might be coming? I ask as an occasional user of the latter service.
