@ChunkyPotato and I were trying to figure out where this image was taken. The image is from Mobility Montréal’s homepage as well as the image shown when sharing a link from the ARTM.
Based on the editing, we thought it was maybe a modified image, the cars being added together from a set of several images, and the bus lane added on top of the image (as we couldn’t think of centre bus lanes).
We then looked at the highway sign, trying to identify where it could be from. @ChunkyPotato found this sign on the edge of Brossard past the A-30 and A-10 interchange, with the highway exit number being the same, and the most of the text being same, if we set it back to 2011 (since thats when the extension to Vaudreuil opened and they changed Châteauguay to Vaudreuil). Except it’s missing Quebec… we were getting closer:
We couldn’t find any artifacts from the image, weird edits, it looked really good to be edited.
But then as I looked at the bus carefully, I realized it was a Van Hool bus with a blue wrap on the top of it. The only bus I know of that had Van Hool buses and a tunnel under the highway, was the 90 RTL bus. At the time of this image though, it was branded as the 90 AMT Express bus, as it used to be branded as an AMT product despite RTL technically running it:
This image is the bus but with the RTL branding:
The I remembered, before the REM, there used to be a centre bus lane that led to Stationnement Chevrier. Additionally, the square traffic lights are unique to Brossard, so it HAD to be in Brossard.
Then I found it. At 45.46341° N, 73.45689° W (on boul Mulan, looking South-East), the location of where the image was taken (around 2012 - 2011):
The image is low quality because Google Streeview wasn’t high quality, but it matches:
