WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

LAST UPDATE - JULY 2 2021 - LAVAL BECOMES A GREEN ZONE AS OF JUNE 28

Nothing changes for public transits. The following rules still apply.

Remaining sanitary rules at bus terminals and on the regular bus and shared taxis network:

• Wearing face covering is mandatory for aged 10 or more on the bus and shared taxis, as well as in terminal (on boarding platforms and inside the buildings)
• Board by the front door
• Unboard by the rear door (except for people with disabilites)
• Do not board if you have Coronavirus symptoms (fever, new or worsening cough, difficulty breathing, sudden loss of smell without nasal congestion – with or with loss of taste), are waiting for a COVID-19 test result or if you are self-isolating
• Do not eat on board and take your waste back with you
• Maximum 2 passengers in shared taxis

Relaxation of some rules by the CNESST:

• Bus drivers no longer have to wear a procedural face mask behind their protected driving area.
• Metropolitan ticket offices employees no longer have to wear a procedural face mask when they are at their workstation behind the counter and the protective glass or when they are at 2 meters from each other.
• Security agents as well as STL supervisors must continue to wear a procedural face mask in terminals, on buses and in the presence of clients.

Remaining sanitary rules for the paratransit service:

• Wearing face covering is mandatory for passengers and drivers
• Maximum 3 passengers per minibus (3 separate passengers or 1 passenger + his or her companion).
• Maximum 2 passengers per taxi (2 separate passengers or 1 passenger + his or her companion).

At all times, please apply the health directives from public health authorities.

For your safety and that of others, please wear your face covering adequately for the complete duration of your trip. Thank you for keeping civic-mindedness top-of-mind at all times. Moving forward together while respecting the new rules!

Please bear in mind that it is not the bus driver’s responsibility to refuse entry to or force out users not wearing a mask on STL buses or facilities. Our teams’ role regarding the mandatory face covering rule as well as the application of any other rules is to remind users about the directives in place, maintain bus service so the other users on board are not penalized, and notify a supervisor in situations requiring further intervention.

STEPS TAKEN

We are in constant communication with government agencies and our fellow public transit authorities in a joint effort to find common solutions. We are adapting accordingly as new directives arise. As a public transit authority, the STL will continue to adhere to the recommendations of public health agencies.

The hygiene rules recognized and recommended by the provincial public health agency Santé publique are still the most effective way to prevent infection and the virus from spreading.

Here are the main preventive measures put in place by the STL.
