COVID-19: MEASURES TAKEN BY THE RÉSEAU DE TRANSPORT DE LONGUEUIL

Longueuil, le 13 mars 2020 – The Réseau de transport de Longueuil (RTL) wishes to point out the measures taken in relation to its buses and facilities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Starting today, the RTL has restructured its maintenance employees’ workloads to add more frequent cleanings of high-touch surfaces in its buses.
 
Straps, vertical and horizontal poles, chip card readers, and high-touch surfaces on payment boxes will be cleaned every two days. We will also step up cleanings of driver areas. Our paratransit, shared taxi service, and RTL à la demande providers will clean the interior of their vehicles once a day. At the Longueuil terminal, our cleaning contractors will step up daily cleanings of bathrooms and high-touch surfaces in the terminal, such as automatic ticket dispensers, door handles, driver door control panels, and restaurant tables. They will also install hand sanitizer dispensers at the five entrances to the terminal.
To reduce the risk of infection with COVID-19, the RTL requires employees who are returning from a trip abroad as of March 12 to self-isolate for 14 days.
 
The RTL is mindful of the situation and has been in constant contact since January with the Centre de santé et de services sociaux de la Montérégie-Centre in order to adjust its procedures if needed. We remind our users to adopt the same hygiene practices that apply during flu season and to any other circulating virus.
  • Wash your hands with soap and warm running water for at least 20 seconds.
  • Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if you do not have access to soap and water.
  • Practice hygiene measures when you cough or sneeze: Cover your mouth and nose with your elbow to reduce the spread of germs.
  • If you use a paper tissue, discard it immediately and wash your hands afterwards.
