==History==
BLUS - Chambly-Richelieu-Carignan was created in 1984 under the name CIT Chambly-Richelieu-Carignan. The first contract was awarded to [[Réseau de Transport de Longueuil|STRSM]] and mainted the contract until December 1991. The contract was later awarded to Autobus Viens, a private operator that was bought out by Veolia Transportation in 2004, which became [[Transdev Quebec]] in 2012.

BLUS - Chambly-Richelieu-Carignan was created in 1984 under the name CIT Chambly-Richelieu-Carignan. The first contract was awarded to STRSM and mainted the contract until December 1991. The contract was later awarded to Autobus Viens, a private operator that was bought out by Veolia Transportation in 2004, which became Transdev Quebec in 2012.

Over the years, BLUS (at the time CIRCRC), took over various other CITs to extend their service area. In 1988, the took over CIT d'Iberville, in 1993 they were took over service in St-Mathias-sur-Richelieu, 1994 service began in the city of Marieville and finally in 2005 they took over service for CIT Rouville.
