With the start of the school year, the range of routes will also be improved in order to facilitate the flow of traffic.

The company’s additional services include buses every 12 minutes on Portland between Carrefour and Cégep during peak hours.

Traffic appeared to be moving near the Cégep de Sherbrooke on Monday morning. The same is true near Fleurimont Hospital, where rehabilitation work is scheduled to begin at the Route 216 interchange.
