Taking the bus and métro is easy

Keeping your cool behind the wheel must be hard when you’re stuck in traffic morning and night. Why not leave the car and GPS behind and try public transit instead? You’ll see, it’s easier than you think!

With 68 métro stations and 220 bus lines covering the city, transit is on hand to take you to school, work or any other destination.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, ONE STEP AT A TIME

Get your travel directions. Enter the addresses for your departure point and destination and select any of the available options that may apply.
Buy your transit fare in advance. If you are thinking of starting off with a round-trip, buy a 2-trip fare card. The easiest option is to purchase your fare card from a point of sale (pharmacies and participating convenience stores) before leaving or directly at a métro station, depending on your route. Keep your fare card with you at all time, as it is your proof of payment. Do you increasingly enjoy riding public transit? Review your choice of fare card according to your needs. You’ll see, riding the bus and métro is a lot less expensive than fuel and parking fees!
Choose your entertainment. For once, you’ll have an opportunity to close your eyes while listening to your music (instead of computerized directions) or even to read a novel on your way to work or school.
Give it a try and switch. Give public transportation a chance: with traffic congestion, taking the bus to a métro station is perhaps the best way to get away from it!

More bus service to reach the métro

Construction work on the Turcot Interchange and new Champlain Bridge is impacting road traffic. For that reason, public transit services have been increased as follows:

15 bus lines providing enhanced level of service
An additional train on the Green line and a better frequency

We know what you’ll say, buses also get stuck in traffic. And you’re right, but at least the bus driver is in charge of the vehicle, meaning less stress for you. Our buses also get to use reserved lanes and benefit from priority traffic lights that keep them moving.
