Flexibus

On-demand transportation
service

Nouveau depuis le 22 août! 

Dans le secteur Orsainville, une nouvelle zone Flexibus 8 – Charlesbourg a été mise en place à l’est de l’autoroute Laurentienne, s’étendant du boulevard Jean-Talon jusqu’à la limite de la ville de Québec au nord.

De plus, la zone Flexibus 2 - La Haute-Saint-Charles a été modifiée et se limite désormais à l’ouest de l’autoroute Laurentienne.

What is Flexibus?

The Flexibus application allows you to travel within the areas where the RTC’s new on-demand transportation service is now available. You can book trips for your local transportation needs or to connect to a frequent service network, all for the same price as a bus trip. 

The service is also accessible to people who use wheelchairs and three- or four-wheeled scooters. With Flexibus, riders can do things like get to a bus stop, run an errand at a local grocery store or pharmacy, or go to a community recreation centre. Hop on board!

Book your ride in just a few clics with the RTC Flexibus mobile app or the web site This link will open in a new window.

    See the RTC Fare Schedule

  • Flexibus stops

    Flexibus does not offer door-to-door service. It’s a public transit service with no fixed times or routes that adapts to customer demand based on departure and arrival points. You can get on and off at regular RTC stops within the service area or at one of the other points suggested when you book your trip (most often the nearest intersection), to minimize walking distance.

  • Service areas

    Flexibus allows you to travel within a single service area or connect to the existing RTC bus network. To see if you are located in a service area, see the regional map.

  • Accessibility

    If you have a specific accessibility need (wheelchair or three- or four-wheeled scooter), check the “Accessibility” option in your profile. Each vehicle can accommodate one person with reduced mobility.
