It’s part of being its own mode as well. There’s the option to disable it in the system picker:
STM made it purple because it’s frequent, the signs mark it in blue because it’s STM, the infrastructure signage is green because it’s part of it being a “Bus” mode. It’s hard to choose which it really should be, but in my opinion they should go with the green to match the maps
I agree that it should be green. Sure, some transit nerds might argue that it’s a frequent line, so it should be purple, but…
a) Purple doesn’t necessarily mean frequent in Transit, as it’s impossible to see the difference between all-day high-frequency lines and rush-hour high-frequency lines in the app. Both types of lines have the same colour. (It could be interesting to have rush-hour high-frequency lines appear purple in the app only during rush-hour.)
b) The average rider of the 439 sees more green than purple when they use the line (maps and bus shelters).
c) There’s a difference between the 439 and other high-frequency lines. The 439 uses a 24/7 bus lane for most of the route, while other lines can be more impacted by traffic.
Les nouvelles couleurs du RTL apparaissent maintenant dans Transit. Je trouve ça beaucoup plus beau que les anciennes.
More like 20/7. La 355 n’emprunte pas les voies du SRB et la 439 n’offre toujours pas de service de nuit.
Il semble aussi que le RTL aie aussi changé de logo.
Pas autant un outil numérique, mais on applique les couleurs dans Wikipédia aussi : Réseau de transport de Longueuil - Wikipedia (en)
