How it works
The RTL can take you directly to your destination or ask another paratransit service to do so (exchange trip). We may also take you to an authorized transfer point from which another paratransit service will complete the trip (transfer trip). In the case of a transfer, you must pay the applicable fare to each transit company.
Requests for metropolitan trips are subject to vehicle availability.
Secondary trips :
The point of origin and destination are outside the RTL territory (e.g., following a medical appointment in Montréal, you want to attend an event at the Bell Centre).
Schedules and fares vary according to the itinerary. The RTL will give you all the necessary information on the return trip you wish to make.
You must make your request to the RTL Reservations Centre at the same time as your metropolitan trip request, i.e., at least two days in advance (excluding the day of the trip) for an occasional trip outside central Montréal, or before 11 a.m. the day before the trip for a metropolitan trip within central Montréal.
Secondary trips are subject to availability of a vehicle from the transit company that will offert the service. An agent from our Reservations Centre will keep you informed.
A group is considered five or more people who have a paratransit user number.

Our agents will make the reservation according to vehicle availability and users’ limitations. These trips may require the use of several vehicles.

Participating users are responsible for confirming that they will be attending the activity; the Reservations Centre will confirm their time slot.

Should you be unable to do so for exceptional reasons (as for a medical appointment, a court appearance, or an appointment to repair your wheelchair), your return will be on-call. These returns trips must be made at least one hour before the end of operating hours. They are not available for same-day reservations or for metropolitan trips. On-call returns are subject to vehicle availability.
To arrange for a return trip, call our Reservation Centre as soon as you are ready to leave. A minimum waiting period will apply until a vehicle is available.
NOTE
Your return trip will originate from your destination address, i.e., the location where the driver dropped you off. It must be reserved at least one hour before the end of operating hours.
