Update: Along the same corridor as Rideau Street, the westbound bus lane on Montreal Road in Vanier between St. Laurent Boulevard and Montgomery Street has also had its timespan expanded! Previously 7:00-9:00, now 6:00-9:30.

Forgot to mention that the short eastbound bus lane between Montgomery and the Vanier Parkway was also updated to be active between 2:30PM-6:00PM (previously 3:30PM-5:30PM). No pic, so here is November 2024 Street View showing it.
Unfortunately, today at 9:00AM this truck and van belonging to a glass installation company wasn't respecting the no stopping regulations. New and improved bus lanes should come with an initial blitz of awareness and enforcement to change habitual behaviour.
The problem with the Montreal Rd bus lanes is the lack of marking. I commuted for weeks along it before I noticed that sign. The rightmost lane WB at Vanier Pkwy is also just marked as a thru lane even though the far side is a parking or bus lane.
Ya, you are 100 percent right. The pavement markings are completely absent. And Montreal Road used to have overhead large bus lane signage (like Rideau) but it was removed with the redesign. Lots of room for improvement to fix legibility.
