Does anyone know where I can get a system map for the CITBL? I know one exists; it's simply called Carte Reseau CIT, and it does not include the new Circuit 14. I've seen them on display in ticket booths, but I can never seem to find one for myself.

Maybe at Henri-Bourassa STL terminus?

Nope. That was the first place that I checked. The second place was the Parc train station.

Why don't you phone them and ask them to mail one to you? According to the AMT website, their number is (450) 435-8899.

Tried that too, Richard. No luck. Even the CITBL's contractor, Limocar, couldn't help me out.

Wow...that's disturbing...another place to look may be on one of their vehicles if you use their service, or even just ask one of their operators if you see one of their buses around the terminal - I know that Groupe Viens' systems are very good with that, but I can't speak for Limocar.

Well, I got all of their timetables like that, so maybe they will have the system map on board as well. Thanks for the sage advice, Richard!

It worked! It absolutely worked! This is how it happened:
Attempt #1: CITBL #9 bus shows up at Terminus Laval. I ask the driver in French if he has what I'm looking for. He radios the dispatcher, who give him an answer: No.
Attempt #2: CITBL #4 bus shows up. The following procedure is repeated, minus radioing the dispatcher.
Attempt #3: CITBL #9 bus shows up. I don't bother to ask because I already know what the answer will be.
Attempt #4: Another CITBL #9 bus shows up. The driver gets out to talk to a passenger. I ask, in French, if he has what I'm looking for. He is very friendly, and says that he has some. He hands me a copy, I thank him profusely, the depart for the Metro. Mission accomplished!

(I believe that the map, entitled CIT carte reseau, was published around 1999 or 2000, because it does not include the new Circuit 14.)
