Well they better come up with something because next winter the rest of the island will enjoy waiting outside for overcrowded buses

They’re already planning a permanent shuttle to Ste Anne, predicted to take 20 minutes. Hopefully the 211 and 405 aren’t cancelled.

@Ian – There is a 99 no compete clause, from my understanding, so the 211 and 405 are likely not going to survive as everything will have to head towards the REM.

This morning we all waited outside in line for the shuttle for 30min just to have a guy tell us that it was only delayed so there’s no bus. Then we all walked into the station while some people were walking out and people were yelling at them to stay inside because there’s no shuttle. 30min outside in the freezing wind for no reason. West Island this is what you have to look forward to.

@Ephraim true but those lines serve the Lakeshore strip & the REM is north of the 40, so they might not be seen as competition? At least that’s what I’m hoping.
