Transport collectif announced that a new metropolitan bus route will start service on August 24, 2026. The line will run from the town of Delson, Quebec, to the Yellow Metro line in Montreal, following Taschereau Boulevard. This marks the first metropolitan bus line in the region's transit network.
The route provides a direct link between Delson residents and Montreal's rapid transit system. By connecting to the Yellow Metro line, passengers can transfer to existing subway services that cover the broader metropolitan area. The chosen corridor, Taschereau Boulevard, is a major arterial road that already supports significant commuter traffic.
Transport collectif described the launch as a step toward expanding public transportation options beyond the city core. The new service is intended to improve accessibility for commuters traveling between the suburb and downtown Montreal, offering an alternative to automobile travel. No additional details about frequency, operating hours, or fare structure were released at the time of the announcement.
The introduction of the metropolitan bus line follows ongoing efforts to integrate regional transit modes and reduce reliance on private vehicles. Officials expect the connection to the Yellow Metro line to facilitate smoother travel for passengers heading into the city, potentially easing congestion on nearby roadways. The line will become operational on August 24, 2026, with Transport collectif overseeing its daily operations.
