www.rtl-longueuil.qc.caHere are the latest publicly available updates about RTL (Réseau de transport de Longueuil) as of 2026.
-
Ongoing electrification and fleet modernization: RTL has pursued acquisition of electric buses and expansion of charging infrastructure as part of its broader push to electrify its fleet. This includes pilot deployments and procurement efforts to replace older diesel fleets with electric or hybrid models. These initiatives align with Quebec’s provincial electrification goals for public transit.[1][2]
-
Network redesign aligned with REM integration: RTL and regional partners have communicated plans for network adjustments to integrate with the REM (Réseau de transport métropolitain) and to improve east-west connectivity across the agglomeration, including potential/service design changes anticipated around REM milestones. Public briefings and citizen information sessions have been used to explain these changes to riders.[3][4]
-
Public engagement and consulting activity: The RTL has run multiple rounds of public consultation and information sessions to gather input on proposed network changes and future service concepts, including online consultations and in-person meetings. These efforts aimed to refine routes, timetables, and tools for trip planning as the REM timeline progressed.[4]
-
Service adjustments during transition periods: During periods of transition (REM integration, infrastructure upgrades, and electrification), RTL has historically adjusted service levels, routes, and frequencies to balance reliability with ongoing capital works, while maintaining essential transit access for regional residents and workers. Expect periodic timetable refinements aligned with infrastructure milestones.[1]
Illustration: A simplified view of the current priorities
- Fleet modernization: more electric/hybrid buses and charging infrastructure
- Network integration: harmony with REM and regional corridors
- Rider information: enhanced tools like interactive maps and trip simulators
- Public engagement: ongoing citizen consultations
