Cit le richelain departing station centrale d autobus de montreal
The CIT Le Richelain (Conseil Intermunicipal de Transport Le Richelain) is the public transportation system for the municipalities of La Prairie, Candiac and Saint-Philippe, which are suburbs lying southeast of Montreal in Quebec, Canada. Originally the communities around Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu were included but the town now has its own public transit system which serves that area.
Commuter service to Montreal is the major function of the CIT, either directly to the downtown bus terminal via a reserved bus lane on the Champlain Bridge or services to Terminus Longueuil with metro to downtown Montreal.
In 2007, CIT Le Richelain renewed the contract with the Gestrans to provide all management services and renewed its agreement with the carrier La Québécoise for the operation of the buses.
