Longueuil, October 2 – Once again this year, the Réseau de transport de Longueuil (RTL) is proud to serve as the official public transit provider for the 36 h en couleurs celebrations, from October 6 to 8 at Parc Michel-Chartrand. 

“We’re very pleased to be associated with this major event in Longueuil. This partnership, which is more meaningful than ever to our citizens, fits in perfectly with our desire to be more present in the community and to encourage residents to participate in the many events in the Agglomération,” stated Colette Éthier, Chairman of the RTL Board of Directors. 

To mark the occasion, the RTL will provide free access to line 71, between the Longueuil Université-de-Sherbrooke metro station and Parc Michel-Chartrand, on presentation of a free ride ticket for the 36 h en couleurs event. This ticket will be valid at all stops along the route from Friday, October 6, at 6 p.m., until the end of the event, on Sunday, October 8.
