🚍 STM: final bus ride on the 78 route: Laurendau - in Southwest, Montreal - before the route is gone

Here is my final bus ride aboard the STM bus 78 route. The STM will be eliminating this bus route - among 7 others - as part of the bus redesign in the Lachine, LaSalle, Verdun, Sud-Ouest and south Ville-Marie sector starting August 26, 2024.

More info on the bus network redesign can be found here:

Here is the official STM website regarding the bus network redesign in these sectors, including a trip simulator:

The list of STM bus routes being eliminated are:
15 Sainte-Catherine
58 Wellington
75 de la Commune
78 Laurendeau ✅
109 Shevchenko
116 Lafleur/Norman
191 Broadway/Provost
406 Newman (will merge with the 106 to become the 106 and will be a frequent service bus) 🚌

I will be trying my best to film one more bus ride on each of these routes before they are gone.

In this video, we are aboard the STM bus 78 route going westbound between Angrignon metro station and Place-Saint-Henri metro station.

The 78 bus route was one of my favourite bus routes that cut through the Southwest sector of Montreal, Canada.

Note that in this video, the route took some detours and terminated at Place-Saint-Henri metro station, while it normally terminates at Lionel-Groulx metro station when going westbound. The detours and termination at Place-Saint-Henri metro stations are because of construction going on where the bus normally passes.

We are aboard a Nova Bus LFS diesel bus from the year 2009. This is STM bus registration number 29-090.

This video was filmed on Monday, August 5, 2024 starting at approximately 11:16 am Eastern Canadian Time.
