The 901 Taschereau bus route began operating on Monday, August 24, 2026, providing a continuous transit corridor across Montreal’s South Shore. The new line connects areas that previously relied on separate, uncoordinated services, creating a single metropolitan bus option for commuters and residents.
Until today, the South Shore’s public‑transport network consisted of several isolated systems that did not share routes or schedules. Riders often needed to transfer between different operators, leading to longer travel times and limited accessibility across municipal boundaries. The lack of a unified line had been a notable gap in the region’s mobility infrastructure.
The introduction of the 901 route addresses that gap by linking the formerly distinct transit territories under one service designation. Operating under the 901 number, the line runs along Taschereau Boulevard, a major thoroughfare that stretches across multiple municipalities. By following a single corridor, the bus line eliminates the need for multiple transfers and offers a consistent schedule throughout the day.
Transit planners anticipate that the 901 Taschereau line will simplify travel for daily commuters, students, and occasional riders alike. The unified route is expected to improve connectivity between residential neighborhoods, commercial districts, and key service hubs on the South Shore. Officials see the launch as a step toward broader regional integration, potentially paving the way for additional cross‑municipal routes in the future.
