Mountain buses suspended from lack of traffic direction
There was nobody to direct traffic Tuesday at the traffic light on the Camillien-Houde, so the STM detoured the 11 and 711 buses away from the mountain. Since the main purpose of those bus routes is to ferry people to and from Mount Royal park, it seems clear the STM was making a statement.

The only thing that I find clear is that it’s unsafe to drive up the mountain because drivers are not paying attention and the STM is taking passenger safety seriously. I think anything else is speculation.

WTF? So drivers are ignoring the traffic lights so they put a person with a flag there? Why not a cop who tickets everybody? Or a traffic red light camera? This feels like two centuries ago when cars needed a person with a flag in front of them to warn they were coming. Although I must admit I wouldn’t be against THAT on the mountain.
