The 901 Taschereau bus route started operating on Monday, August 24, 2026, becoming the first metropolitan bus line to link transit territories that were previously separate on Montreal’s South Shore.
Identified by the number 901, the new line runs under the Taschereau designation and serves the South Shore region of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Its launch represents a coordinated effort to provide a single bus service across the area.
The primary purpose of the route is to connect distinct transit jurisdictions that existed on the South Shore before the line’s introduction. By offering a continuous service across these jurisdictions, the 901 Taschereau line creates a unified transit corridor.
Prior to the launch, the South Shore was served by multiple independent transit systems, each operating within its own jurisdiction. These separate systems functioned without a common metropolitan bus route linking them. The introduction of the 901 Taschereau route changes that landscape by providing a single, integrated service.
The commencement of the 901 Taschereau bus route marks a notable development in the region’s public transportation network, aiming to streamline travel for passengers moving between the formerly isolated transit zones on Montreal’s South Shore.
