I like the new design, however ever since this new design the STM Mobile iPhone application hasn't been able to give me bus stop times in a timely manner.

From an unnamed source who worked on this redesign: The yellow represents people, and the blue represents the stm, when they are together it is green because it's eco-friendly when people use public transportation.

But! It doesn't do that horrible thing anymore where they took away the "English" button on the main page and replaced it with a little "English" link off in a corner. I found that to be the most fascinating act of language spite I've yet encountered in this province.

Unfortunately with this new site design I can't access the website anymore on my Samsung m510 :( Can't get bus times now. Don't know about blackberries....

What kind of a graphic artist chooses florescent yellow over a white background?

Also, hate to nitpick, but the new version of Tous Azimuts was launched quietly a few months ago, and infact wasn't launched with this new enviro campaign

In the new chevron logo, the yellow represents energy and blue represents the STM.

I'll let you know when it eventually loads.

You're right. Though it's not really search-engine friendly when the text is made into an image.

Your thoughts on the new GlobeandMail.com design?

Oh and apparently my laptop's screen isn't wide enough (piddly ol' 1024*768) and their menu section does not crunch nicely. Half of the cool little white circle buttons disappear into nowhere, and the "SEARCH" button falls down to the next line and covers up the "Find your bus stop code" link. Joy.

When the unknown liquid (yellow) sits for a long time without being cleaned on the floors of Guy/Concordia metro station (blue), it starts to grow some fungus (green)!

Yeah, that's all I've got...

I want to point out the "Flash-based main image" is not Flash; it's Javascript. That's why the new STM site is brilliant and professional.

Too many websites use and abuse Flash while they can use Javascript to achieve the same effect, and more search engine friendly.

what a terrible choice of colour! it's a good thing whoever designed that website didn't decide to get into the interior decorating business. imagine walking into a pale blue and fluorescent yellow restaurant :(

BTW, the new Tours Azimuth (Click on Plan your trip) is pretty nice!
