With the smog warning issued by Environment Canada on Saturday, June 17, all users of the Société de transport de Laval (STL) will be able to take the bus for only $1 a ticket.
This special rate will be in effect throughout the day on the entire regular STL network (buses and shared taxis).
Launched in 2008, the “STL Smog Alert” initiative aims to promote the use of public transit rather than the car when the air quality deteriorates to the point of falling below acceptable standards.

The STL monitors Environment Canada smog alerts until Labor Day, which is until September 4, 2023.
