GETTING ON THE BUS

The electronic sign above the windshield shows the wheelchair pictogram for buses equipped with an access ramp.

 

 

Customers use the ramp located at the front of the bus to get on and off the vehicle.

  • Keep away from the ramp while it is being deployed.
  • Wait until the ramp is completely deployed before boarding the bus.
  • Since the slope of the ramp can vary depending on the sidewalk height, you should deploy your wheelchair’s anti-tipping device.

After paying for your trip in cash or by swiping your OPUS or SOLO card over the card reader, move toward the zone reserved for customers with limited mobility, indicated with a wheelchair pictogram:  

 
Important: Paratransit tickets are not accepted on board regular buses.
 
The reserved zone
  • Correctly position your wheelchair against the retaining cushion, facing the back of the bus.
  • Put the brakes on your wheelchair.
  • Buckle your seat belt, if you have one.
  • If you are using a three-wheel scooter, make sure the front wheel is straight for maximum stability.
