Société de Transport de Summit

Société de Transport de Summit (English translation: Summit Transportation Services) was a Montréal, QC based transit group that operates transport services in the fictional city of Chomedey, Québec, owned by MadamNitro. Unlike other North American-based groups, it is the only one to be based in a French-speaking region; in addition, it is also fully bilingual in terms of communications (English and French with separate Twitter accounts for each language). This agency was relatively unique as it was founded in May 2020, intending to operate solely light rail services.

The transit agency's logo is based on the STM's logo and also uses their slogan, calling it the "Single Movement".

STS had its own unique development company known as Avbus, which was hired to provide custom vehicles which are harder for mainline developers such as nextTransport to produce.

History
In May 2020, STS began operations with a 100% NovaBUS LFS fleet, with older 2nd generation NovaBUS LFS vehicles out of their Chomedey division. They are also planning for an Alexander Dennis Enviro500 MMC, though the bus is still in the development phase. Eventually, the group introduced Van Hool A330Ks based on RTC (Québec City) specifications. These units are hybrid powered and are used on lower ridership services. Most of the transit system consisted on bus routes with stacked destination displays (based on TTC) and route numbers based on STM services in suburban Montréal. A light rail line was added in the Chomedey division as part of future expansion.

Unlike other groups, STS had its own "constitution" that would promote equality and a safe, welcoming environment for all players and staff in their Discord server, which also extended to Roblox maps.

Towards the end of July 2020, the group introduced its 4th-generation NovaBUS LFS into service, along with hybrid and CNG variants as part of getting 400 members.

In August 2020, the group has further added articulated buses. These models included the NovaBUS LFSA for busy services. The company began testing its Bombardier Flexity 2 LRVs, which will add light rail to the bus division. The group also plans to operate a subway service using STM-specification MR-73 train sets.

In September 2020, the group will introduce Van Hool AG300s, which are to further improve services along with its NovaBUS LFSAs. The company also reportedly has a Van Hool AGG300 in the works.

In October 2020, the STS is slated to begin Light Rail Transit (LRT) service at its Chomdey division. It will be served by Bombardier Flexity 2 LRVs.

On October 17, 2020, STS announced it will open a division outside of North America, starting on October 18, 2020. This map is based on an unknown city in France although more details are yet to be released.

After taking a hiatus for almost a year, STS announced it would be operating regional rail service (based on AMT/Exo services in the Montréal area). Initially, a replica of the former AMT/Exo Deux-Montagnes line, complete with the Bombardier MR-90 EMU was shown on July 9, 2021. In addition, on July 12, 2021, the agency released development pictures of a Bombardier AL45-DP (dual mode locomotive) with multi-level coaches, which were to be used on the other lines. Trains were to have drivers and conductors. This project was cancelled close to release.

STS ceased operations on July 31, 2021 due to controversy and having a very poor management of its HR team.

In-Group Drama
On July 31, 2021, evidence released by Translink Virtual, MBTA Roblox, nextTRANSPORT and other members of the Ro-Transit community showed STS HRs after they failed to stop bullying people after being repeatedly told to stop in the group's Discord server. As people had reported racial issues, harassment, homophobia, transphobia and hate crimes against them, all committed by high ranks in the group, this was beyond unacceptable and was extreme controversy. One member was also purportedly forced into extreme depression due to the constant drama in the server. The HR staff attempted to hide it through the "freedom of speech" clause, which did not hide the fact offences under the Criminal Code of Canada were committed and no attempt was made to resolve the issues. The HRs also claimed it was a joke, failing to address the severity of their actions. Consequently, nextTRANSPORT, along with more than 15 Ro-Transit agencies and developers sanctioned the group in a press release. Other groups also issued sanctions against STS' HR team and staff that were involved.

Shortly after the press document and evidence was released, the group lost a large amount of members as many people found it a toxic environment. The group's Discord server was deleted as the entire HR team resigned over the allegations and confirmed as shut down at 11:42 pm Eastern Time, according to a Twitter post from nextTRANSPORT. Other developers also confirmed the group had shut down around the same time, which led to many staff out of work. This could also have repercussions for other groups affiliated with STS' high ranks. In fact, following the demise of STS, the former HRs started spreading false information in other groups' Discord servers they were part of.

However, on August 1, 2021, PoizGamesAlternate revealed that the former HRs were still trying to cause problems on Discord through leaked direct messages posted on Twitter, alongside sending out more screenshots of alleged drama. The next day, he also confirmed that former HRs were also attacking him through protected Twitter accounts to hide their usernames from the public, again on a Twitter post. On August 3, 2021, Invalids_s made a meme video showing that STS staff clearly violated the same constitution that was designed to prevent such drama from happening among the HRs or anyone in the group. These accusations were enough to basically end the group altogether.
