Here are the latest public updates from the STM (Société de transport de Montréal) based on their recent communications and press releases:

• The STM announced a reconfiguration of the bus network in the Centre-Nord and West Island, with service changes planned to align with the REM expansion. The new bus network was scheduled to go into service on the same date as the REM branch opening, May 18 (2026) [STM press release page]. This reorganization aims to better meet current and future mobility needs in those sectors [STM press release page].

• The STM is reintroducing the “GO” branding on bus line indicators in the coming weeks, and will continue to support community initiatives, including recognizing local women’s sports teams. This signals a broader branding and community engagement push alongside service updates [STM press release page].

• For year-end operations, the STM has announced extended metro hours for New Year’s Eve celebrations, continuing the practice of keeping certain lines (Green 1, Orange 2, Yellow 4) running later to accommodate festivities [STM press release page].

• In safety and operations context, the STM and related Quebec transit organizations occasionally issue media advisories about labor agreements and potential impacts on service, as seen in past announcements from the STM-CSN and ATUQ. While these are not guaranteed to occur, they reflect the ongoing labor relations environment that can affect schedules [CSN page; ATUQ media advisories].
