La Mauricie Page
The Mauricie region is centred around
the St-Maurice River, about halfway between Montreal and Quebec City, and has
two cities large enough to support public transit systems. Trois-Rivières is
located where the St-Maurice and St. Lawrence rivers meet, and is one of the
oldest settlements in Quebec, having been founded in 1634 by Samuel de
Champlain. Today, the city is home to
126,000 inhabitants, and is served by the STTR.
Shawinigan, population 56,000, is about 30 km north of Trois-Rivières, and is the hometown of former Prime
Minister Jean Chrétien. Transit service
is provided by the RTCS; however, there is no service link with the STTR. Follow the links below to see photos of buses
in Trois-Rivières and Shawinigan.
