Schedule
This route runs from Monday to Friday during the rush hour periods at intervals of every 3–4 minutes. The entire route runs along a reserved lane on Côte-des-Neiges Road, René Lévesque Boulevard and finally on Parc Avenue. The purpose of this route is to run concurrently with bus routes 165 Côte-des-Neiges and 80 Avenue du Parc to provide better service because they are two of the busiest bus routes in Montreal. The portion along René Lévesque Boulevard is to serve the busy downtown core during rush hour, by bringing passengers to a metro station.
