So many times I have seen STM buses burn a red light, in the dumbest ways too. Countless times I see them stopped at a green light and only engage into the intersection AFTER the orange light comes on. By the time the red hits, the bus didn't even hit the halfway point into the intersection. It takes it another 5 seconds to accelerate out of the intersection. That is between 5 to 10 seconds in the intersection burning a red light. No sympathy for the STM, sorry.
Not that this has anything to do with this story, just had to vent.
