The Ville de Vaudreuil-Dorion marks a first step forward regarding the 40 - Express and 91 bus routes

The mayor of Vaudreuil-Dorion, Paul Dumoulin, is pleased that the concerns raised by residents, students, and local elected officials have been heard following their appeals to the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain (ARTM) and exo regarding the announced discontinuation of the 40 - Express and 91 bus routes.

Following a meeting held on Monday between the mayor and representatives of the ARTM, an official response was sent to the City last night confirming that Route 91 will remain in service until May 29, that is, until the end of the college semester. As for the 40 - Express line, service will continue during peak hours and partially during off-peak hours until that same date.

“I would like to thank Municipal Councillors Jasmine Sharma and Vanessa Leduc for taking the initiative to launch a petition, sponsored by Marie-Claude Nichols, Member of the National Assembly for Vaudreuil, to defend the interests of public transit users in our region. Without this mobilization, there likely would never have been a meeting with the ARTM. It was the public pressure exerted by hundreds of users and families that made it possible to open a discussion,” said Mayor Paul Dumoulin.

The mayor would have preferred that the 40 - Express service be maintained in its entirety, as called for in the resolutions adopted by the City Council and through the public outcry of recent weeks. He believes, however, that this is an important first step that will allow many students to finish their college and university semesters under better conditions.

It should be noted that in May 2024, the Vaudreuil-Dorion City Council had already passed a resolution calling on the ARTM and exo to maintain the 40 - Express line for a minimum period of one year following the launch of the REM in the West Island, in order to ensure a smooth transition for passengers.

“I am pleased to see that the citizens’ voices have been heard. For several days now, we have stepped up our efforts to highlight the very real impacts that a hasty elimination of these services would have, particularly for students in the midst of final exams. This decision represents significant progress and a recognition of the realities faced by our residents,” added Mayor Paul Dumoulin.

The mayor also noted that discussions with the ARTM and exo will continue over the coming weeks to ensure a smooth transition when the REM begins service in the West Island and to advocate for the transportation needs of Vaudreuil-Soulanges residents.

Finally, it should be noted that the Vaudreuil-Dorion City Council also recently adopted a second resolution calling for the 40 - Express line to remain in service for at least one year following the launch of the REM, as well as a postponement of service changes until the end of the college semester.

Details can be found in the exo customer notice posted online this morning.
