our web site<\/a> so that commuters will be able to find their next bus really quickly,\u201d enthused Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des transports de Laval<\/i> (STL) tech guru Kevin Machab\u00e9e after the Laval transit authority unveiled its newly overhauled website, June 19. <\/p>\n\u201cMany of our users also travel to Montreal,\u201d he told The Suburban.<\/i> \u201cSo we also give them access to the Montreal and Longueuil bus and metro schedules as well as commuter train schedules. It will help them to plan their entire trip.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cOur new website adapts to every device that you can use to connect with it,\u201d Machab\u00e9e said in an interview. \u201cThe interface for a mobile phone is reduced, so only the main information is available, like what time the bus is coming, how much fares cost and how you can contact us.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can also enter your favourite stop, so afterward it will always pop up whenever you surf our website,\u201d he added. \u201cIt will follow you everywhere and tell you when the next three buses will arrive at your stop. You can also add stops for other transit agencies so, if you take the metro or train, you will know when it ought to arrive in the station.\u201d <\/p>\n
The new site also includes links to STL social media pages like Facebook, Twitter and STL\u2019s own blog. <\/p>\n
It also contains an intriguing link for businesses. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe work with companies that would like to benefit from STL services,\u201d Machab\u00e9e explained. \u201cThey give us information about their employees\u2019 needs and we help them by designing a solution that works for them.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cIt could range from van-pooling for employees who work at the same company on the same shift and reside near one another,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe can provide them with a van and one of the employees is responsible to go and pick up the other employees and drive them to their workplace and back.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cWe can also help adjust bus schedules synchronize with the end of shifts,\u201d Machab\u00e9e said. \u201cWe try to make adjustments that permit employees to take the bus home.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s also interesting for employees to see what we have to offer,\u201d he added, \u201cso they can give feedback and suggest that their company look into the possibilities.\u201d
