School Service

Français

In the Primary Transit Network, school service is integrated with our regular lines and routes. The 2024-2025 school year will be the last in which charter buses to schools operate.

Why are school charters not included in the new transit network?

We designed the Primary Transit Network and its feeder routes to provide service to schools without the need for school charters.

Up to this point, school charters have filled a gap, because our current routes weren’t always set up with students in mind. Like other buses, school charters are subsidized by funds from our operating budget. But they were perceived as a service limited to a certain group of people. Public transit is intended to be available to everyone.
