Answers to Your Questions

Before my trip

• Where should I call to book a trip?
  The phone number to book your trips remains the same: 450-973-3111.

• Will I have to wait longer on the phone to make a reservation?
  Given the existing call volume on the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) call center lines, wait times for booking a trip may be slightly longer than usual.
  
  New feature coming in 2026:
  
  Thanks to the partnership with STM, you will be able to book your trips online instead of calling the reservation center.

• Will same-day reservations be possible?
  As it it currently the case, same-day reservations will not be available. You can book a trip between 8:00 a.m and 7:00 p.m. the day before (instead of 6:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.). Besides, it will be possible to book a trip up to 7 days before instead of 5 days.

Later in 2026, when online booking becomes available, you will be able to book a trip until 9:00 p.m. the day before

Important: You must book your return trip at the same time as your initial reservation. For medical appointments, if more than 60 minutes have passed since your boarding time, you may contact the reservation center to try to move up your return (even if your scheduled return time was later).

• Will my paratransit admission card remain valid?
  Yes, please keep your current admission card for your reservations and trips.
  
  However, note that your unique client number will be modified by adding the digits 300,000. For example, if your current card number is 22 100, your new number will be 322 100.

• Could my trip be canceled due to a lack of available vehicles?
  We assure you that there will be enough vehicles to meet your transportation needs.

• Will fares or transit passes change?
  No, fares will remain the same, as will the transit passes for your trips.

During my trip

• How will my transportation take place?
  The process will remain the same. The driver will assist you between the adapted transport vehicle and the access door at your departure and arrival locations. All paratransit drivers have received proper training to ensure a safe and comfortable experience.

• Will the quality of my transportation service be affected by this transition?
  No, the quality of paratransit service will not be affected. STL has ensured that its quality standards are maintained with the new providers.
  
  Regular evaluations will be carried out across the network to monitor service quality.
  
  STM’s paratransit service providers also have solid knowledge of both the Montréal and Laval territories.

• Will I lose my usual driver?
  Yes, the transition will involve changes in the personnel providing paratransit. However, all drivers serving paratransit customers receive proper training to ensure a safe and comfortable experience.

• Will I still have access to a minibus for my trips?
  Trips for paratransit customers will now be provided by regular taxis, accessible taxis (with two wheelchair spaces), and accessible vans offering excellent onboard comfort (air conditioning, soundproofing).

• Will vehicles be identified with STM branding?
  Vehicles will not have specific identification at first. However, a standardized metropolitan-style display is planned for these vehicles during 2026.

• Will onboard payment by bank card still be possible in paratransit vehicles?
  No, at least for a while, as it will take time for all vehicles operated by STM providers to be equipped for card payments.
  
  In the meantime, accepted payment methods as of January 1, 2026 are:
  
  — A valid transit pass
  — Cash: you must have the exact amount, as drivers do not give change. Please note that tips are not accepted.
  
  We hope to reinstate card payment in all paratransit vehicles during 2026.

After your trip

• If I want to report a problem with my trip, what should I do?
  The Customer Contact Center number to speak with our representatives remains the same: 450-688-6520.

• Where can I go to retrieve a lost item?
  Lost items will be centralized at Montréal’s Berri-UQAM metro station. We invite you to contact STM, Monday to Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., to recover your item if necessary: 514-786-4636, then press 7, then 1 in the menu.
