  • Longueuil Metro Closed On Weekends Starting March 8th; Shuttles Available

    The Société de transport de Montréal (STM) recently announced plans to temporarily shut down its weekend metro service on the yellow line, preventing travel across all stations: Berri-UQAM, Jean Drapeau, and Longueuil-Université de Sherbrooke. Since RAC candidates often make use of the metro to get to and from our Saint-Lambert service center, we felt this was important to post about. According to the press release:

    “[T]he STM will be performing work over 25 weekends, split into two phases, from March to May, and from September to December. This will require the complete shutdown of métro service on the Yellow line, from closing time Friday night to opening time Monday morning.”

    Phase 1 will therefore begin March 8th, and will end May 25th, 2014. To help travellers during these repairs, the STM will be offering shuttle buses at 4-10 minute intervals between the metro stations on the yellow line, with a total of three different routes covered:
    • Longueuil – Papineau – Berri-UQAM;
    • Longueuil – parc Jean-Drapeau;
    • Berri-UQAM – Papineau – parc Jean-Drapeau (Casino).
    These routes will undoubtedly be useful to RAC candidates who attend seminars and/or evaluations on the weekend. For more information about the STM’s plans, please consult their website, or call them directly at 514-STM-INFO.
