STS back to regular schedule with a few new route changes

The Sherbrooke Transit Corporation (STS) is advising its customers that beginning Monday, August 20, service will resume its regular schedule in the urban transportation network, marking the end of its summer season.

The STS also is also making the following additions and changes to a few of its routes.

Service additions:

• As part of a pilot project, a new type of service will be introduced: on-demand transportation (line 70). This is a public transit service that requires a mandatory telephone reservation. Line 70 will serve a new sector, in the Butte-aux-bouleaux Park, Saint-élie-d'orford area.

• The newly opened René-lévesque Boulevard will be served through a modification to the No. 26, a 12-passenger microbus.

Route changes:

• Lines 17, 17S and 18S: which serve the residential developments near the Bertrand-fabi and Président-kennedy intersection, will follow St-roch Rd, Bertrand-fabi and Président-kennedy instead of Emery- Fontaine and du Curé.

• Lines 17S and 18S lines will also run along Marini St. instead of Michel-ange and Monet Streets.

• Line 57 will take Thomas-evans and Alexandre-dumas.

• Line 55 will follow Craig St instead of Bienville to ease winter operations.

The information flyers for these lines have been updated and are available on the STS website in the "Se déplacer " section under the " Feuillets d’horaires " tab.
