Tips and rules for group travel
Going through the turnstiles
In the métro, you must validate your Groupe Fare at the fare gate closest to the station agent’s booth. Once you validate your fare, your entire group can go through.
The other turnstiles are designed to only let one person through at a time.
When to plan your group trip
The best time to travel with a group of kids is outside of rush hour, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Use the métro whenever possible, as it has more capacity for groups than the bus.
Big groups on the bus
You can travel with no more than 25 kids on the same bus.
If your group is larger than that, you’ll have to split up.
If that is not an option for your group, you must contact the STM at least 24 hours before your trip at 514-280-5005.
