Réseau de transport de Longueuil

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Réseau de transport de Longueuil (RTL) (English: Longueuil Transit Network) is a public transit carrier in the city of Longueuil, Quebec, Canada and nearby communities on the South Shore of Montreal.

RTL was officially inaugurated on July 1, 1974 as Commission de transport de la Rive Sud de Montréal (CTRSM), replacing the former privately-owned company Chambly Transport. It served the former communities of Boucherville, Brossard, Greenfield Park, Longueuil, LeMoyne, St. Hubert, St. Lambert, and Notre Dame Municipality. Between 1985 and 2002 it was named Société de transport de la Rive-Sud de Montréal (STRSM) (See official website). Following the municipal mergers in 2002, the name officially changed to Société de transport de Longueuil<ref name=RTLname>Chronique février 2002. RTL (2002). Retrieved on 2006-11-14.</ref>. Its marketing name is Réseau de transport de Longueuil, to avoid confusion with the Société de transport de Laval.

Some of the "former" municipalities demerged (broke away) from the City of Longueuil on January 1, 2006 as the result of referenda. However, demerged municipalities continue to be served by and to contribute financially to the RTL.

[edit] Shared taxi

The RTL provides 14 shared taxi routes for residents in certain sectors that are not served by regular bus routes. Shared taxis serve the same stops and accept the same tickets and passes as the bus service. Taxis take riders to the nearest transfer point. Each shared taxi route has its own schedule [1].
