Riding public transit with your bike
Whatever your style of bike, we’ll get you to your destination!
Travelling with your bike has never been easier! You can now transport your bike by train and bus. But be warned: every means of transportation has its own rules. Find out beforehand to plan your trips.
By train
You can travel in peace with your bike on our five train lines, but make sure to follow these rules:
-
Give priority to other users when boarding and disembarking the train car.
-
Control your bike at all times and do not lean it against a train car, seat, or other equipment or train installation.
Bicycles are permitted at all times, throughout our network, including during rush hour.
Bringing your bike on board is simple!
-
Walk your bike to the designated area.
-
Climb aboard and secure the bike in a rack. If there is no rack available, move on to the next car.
-
Stay close to your bicycle throughout the trip.
For safety reasons, employees are not allowed to help you bring your bike aboard or take it out. You must be able to do so by your own means.
By bus
Whether to get to work, to school or to discover the Route Verte cycling paths in your region, our vélo-bus service helps make travelling easy!
