Ticket bonanza continues at Radisson station
The STM has been handing out free tickets at Radisson metro to encourage drivers to give up their cars (on account of the partial tunnel closure) and is now going to extend the offer to mid‑December.
If they’re doing this, shouldn’t it continue till the REM goes live?

Why do the “free busses” go to Radisson (through the tunnel)? Why didn’t they just send some to Longeueil metro?

Presumably because they’ve done the data gathering and concluded that having the bus go to Radisson gets most people closer to their final destination or is a better commute than routing them through Longueuil.

Yeah, getting from Boucherville to the Longueuil Metro can be a slog during rush hour, plus the yellow line is already pretty jammed. Radisson is closer, and if there’s a dedicated bus lane then it should be considerably faster.
