The STM has added a new bus service to help people with reduced mobility get from the metro to the new MUHC hospital.

The 77 bus was put into service Monday morning, and runs from the Lionel Groulx metro station to the hospital.

The Vendome station is closer to the glen site, but it is not wheelchair accessible.

The bus leaves every half hour from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day of the week.

There are plans for an elevator and a tunnel to the hospital, but it's not known when those projects will be completed.

This story has been corrected from an earlier version that stated the bus is only in service on weekdays.
