Most of the lines mentioned as being "improved" are well outside of the city's boundaries: 55: Terminus Centre Ville (TCV, under 1000 de la Gauchetière) to St-Lambert 73: Long-UdS to the middle of Vieux-Longueuil 80: Long-UdS to Boucherville T-20: St-Hubert T-89: Boucherville 20: Vieux-Longueuil 47: TCV to Brossard 132: TCV to St-Hubert T-23: Vieux-Longueuil The lines 91, 92, 98, 99, and T-99 do service St-Bruno, and the amount being invested in St-Bruno service ($314 994) mentioned in the press release does sound impressive. But I wonder how much of that has to do with the takeover (for example, to replace the Veolia buses with RTL buses). Especially so given that they say they're cutting two bus lines in the same city. Is the RTL trying to make cuts look good? For a headline mentioning St-Bruno, there's not a lot of Montarvillois content.
