image003Other AMT Systems

 

The Agence métropolitaine de transport (Metropolitan Transit Agency) oversees transit service in 64 municipalities in and around Montreal by bus, train and taxibus.  The service in the suburbs beyond Montreal, Laval and Longueuil is provided by a group of over a dozen transit agencies, known either as CIT (Intermunicipal Transport Councils) or OMIT (Municipal or Intermunicipal Transport Organizations), ranging from express bus lines running between downtown Montreal and the suburbs during weekday peak periods, to transit systems providing local service within the suburbs seven days a week.  The bus service is contracted out to a number of privately owned coach carriers, which often change as new contracts are signed, routes are established and territories are rearranged.
