Sainte-Thérèse (AMT)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sainte-Thérèse is an intermodal bus and commuter train station in Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Canada. In addition to loading areas for buses of the CIT Laurentides, the station includes a train platform which is used by commuter trains of the Blainville-Saint-Jerome Line of the Agence métropolitaine de transport (AMT) (in English, the "Metropolitan transportation agency"), the umbrella organization that plans, integrates, and coordinates public transportation services in the Greater Montreal, Quebec, Canada area. The station also has parking for 700 cars.[1] [2] Sainte-Thérèse is in Fare Zone 5. [3]

At the time the intermodal terminal opened, it was owned by the city of Sainte-Thérèse, but operated and maintained by the AMT.[4] The station's design was influenced by the Pianos Lesage building, a former piano factory in Sainte-Thérèse. A farmers' market is nearby [5].
