Modifications to route 73

As of June 22 2013, route 73 will be modified.  The new route improves service to the section between the Fabreville/Sainte-Rose and the Fabreville/Vimont sectors.  The route modifications and moving the end of the line further west to Fabreville is safer, allowing two buses to be run at the same time and it also meets the demands of our clients who used the old route 72.  The STL continues to offer bus routes adapted to your needs!

The STL Launches the 6th Edition of “Operation Smog Alert”: It Will Drop its Fares 67% on Summer Smog Days

Laval, May 30, 2013 – The Société de transport de Laval is launching the 6th edition of Operation Smog Alert to encourage residents to use public transit during the summer on smog days.

First introduced in 2008 and starting June 1, this measure consists of reducing the bus fare to just $1 on smog days and is designed to promote the use of public transit and, at the same time, to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road, which are largely responsible for air pollution. The STL’s cash fare is normally $3.00; the special $1 fare granted to riders on smog days therefore corresponds to a discount of nearly 67% on the regular price.
