CTD Page

The Commission de transport de Drummondville was established in 1987 to provide bus service to a population of about 67,000, while Autobus Bourgeoise, a private company, operates the buses themselves. The fleet consists of six Orion buses and there are five bus routes covering the city. The CTD was one of the last transit systems in North America to use the GMC TDH-3302N, the rare “Baby New Look”, which was sold in 2006.
