I hope the new Terminus Fairview opens either slightly before or at the same time as the REM station so that bus connections are properly in place. The current terminal is overcrowded, with some stops spilling onto the street, so the new facility would provide a much better setup, with the exception it not being next to the mall. That said, I understand that coordinating the opening while keeping existing bus schedules just for three weeks might be complex.
Additionally I hope the STM could add a temporary stop in the bus loop of Anse-à-l’Orme, so students have the option of taking the 219 and 419 with the REM for faster service, at least for just a few weeks until the redesign is implemented.
