The journey

What the journey actually looks like

How far it really runs
The route covers 576 km against 501 km in a straight line, a detour of 15 percent. Track and road geometry account for the difference.
Where the change is
Connections are made at Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension, Laval, Ahuntsic-Cartierville, Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. The gap between arriving and leaving is 51 minutes, of which about 14 is walking.
If the connection is missed

First and last departure
The first service of the day leaves Québec at 06:08 and the last at 06:08, across 1 departures. The return direction keeps its own timetable, so the times back are not these times reversed.

Where these numbers come from

Derived from service area No carrier record names this exact pair. The operators listed publish a service area covering both places at a distance their mode plausibly carries people, which is evidence that the corridor is served and not evidence of a specific service. Pages state which, because presenting the two as the same thing would be dishonest.

Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modeled number pass for a filed one.
