It is the citizens turn to benefit from the metro
Three newly established metro stations give the citizens of Laval access to Montreal in the blink of an eye. The Cartier, Montmorency and de la Concorde metro stations also offer outdoor parking at no cost. Over are the long hours stuck in traffic!
Inauguration of the Auto-route 25 bridge in May 2011!
After more than 40 years of changes in opinion, the link between Auto-route 25 in Montreal to Auto-route 440 in Laval will soon become a reality. Good news for Laval citizens who will use this toll bridge, considered to be among the most modern in the world...yet another answer to traffic problems of Greater Montreal.
A very functional network of buses
Laval citizens can depend on a very efficient public transport system. La Société de transport de Laval (STL) operates 35 so called “regular” lines, with 2 additional lines and 3 express lines during rush hours. Also, the STL is proactive by offering a portal that gives users access to software that brings carpoolers together.
To get to work comfortably all year round
Laval citizens who take the train have access to downtown Montreal in less than 30 minutes; comfortably seated, warm in winter and cool in summer. Two commuter train lines (Blainville–Saint-Jérôme and Deux-Montagnes) provide regular shuttle between Laval and its neighbours.
• STL and Communauto
There exists a winning association between the Société de transport de Laval (STL) and Communauto car sharing service. In the first year, STL effectively covers the annual fees of $37 charged by Communauto to all Laval citizens who purchase an Opus card with a minimum of 8 tickets. Upon renting a car, the car-sharing company offers a $1 reduction on its hourly rate to subscribers. Everyone wins!
