In Quebec, there are several safe ways to get from one place to another. However, in some more isolated areas, transportation services are little or not developed. Do not hesitate to inquire with local organizations about what is possible around you.
1: Using the urban bus
Several cities in Quebec have their own bus system, for example:
- Quebec: RCT
- Montreal: STM
- Sherbrooke: STS
2: The intercity bus
This system is very useful for traveling from one city to another. For example:
- Orléans Express
- La Québécoise
3: The train
There is only one rail carrier in Canada that connects the country from east to west: Via Rail.
4: Carpooling
Some organizations offer the possibility to travel to another city at a reduced cost. You just need to create your profile, choose your itinerary according to the desired time, and make the payment online or in cash to the driver. You can use the Amigo Express platform.
5: The bicycle
The bicycle is a good solution for getting around from May to October approximately, when there is no snow or ice on the road. It is a very practical means of transportation, especially when you work in a place a bit isolated from other means of transportation. Make sure to follow bicycle safety instructions!
Some organizations lend bicycles for free. Inquire!
