STM Shared Taxibus Booking App Pilot Yields Positive Results | Metro
The trial showed that using a smartphone app to book shared taxibus trips improves the service.
www.metro-magazine.comI don’t have live access to the latest STM Metro updates in this moment. Here’s a concise summary of where to check for the most current information and a quick snapshot of recent context around STM and the Blue Line extension.
Latest sources to consult
- STM official press room and press releases: stm.info – for official announcements, budgets, closures, and project milestones. This is the most authoritative source for current status and timelines.[6]
- STM press releases page (English/French): stm.info/en/press/press-releases or stm.info/fr/press/press-releases – good for new contracts, CBTC deployments, and operational changes.[2][3]
- Metro industry coverage (for independent context and analysis): Metro Magazine and similar transit trade outlets; look for Blue Line extension updates, CBTC contract awards, and system upgrades.[1]
Key recent context
- The Blue Line extension project in Montréal has been progressing with modernization efforts including a new CBTC train control system; a contract for the train control system was reported in 2024, signaling a shift toward modern signaling as the Blue Line expands.[1][2]
- STM’s ongoing capital expenditure plans and metro asset maintenance investments for the mid-2020s indicate continued infrastructure renewal and service preservation priorities. You’ll find the detailed budget and 2025–2034 capital program in STM press materials.[3][2]
- In the past, STM has also announced station closures for safety or structural reasons; for the latest closures or service changes, the STM press room or service advisories page is the most reliable source.[3]
If you’d like, I can:
- Pull the latest STM press releases and summarize any new contracts, closures, or service changes.
- Create a brief, up-to-date timeline of the Blue Line extension with key milestones (contract awards, expected openings, CBTC deployment status).
- Set up a quick comparison table of recent STM updates versus prior year milestones to show progress.
