The Montreal City Council unanimously adopted its direction in favor of By-law R-229 of the Société de transport de Montréal (STM). The by-law would authorize a loan to finance the project 'Extension of the lifespan of 12-meter diesel buses'.
The City Council also approved the amendment to the Capital Program (CP) 2026-2035. These matters were to be submitted to the Agglomeration Council on August 27, 2026. The decision of the City Council is a direction; it does not alone confirm the final decision of the Agglomeration Council.
The project aims to extend the lifespan of 12-meter diesel buses of the STM. The affected lines or sectors are not specified. No publicly available information.
The by-law would authorize a loan of $23,901,463, net of rebates and financial fees included, for a term of five years. The amount is intended for the project to extend the lifespan of the buses.
