Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu public transit[2] (transport en commun) is operated on behalf of the city of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu in the province of Quebec, Canada. The city lies on the Richelieu River about 50 kilometres (31 mi) southeast of Montreal, and is the regional capital of Haut-Richelieu Regional County Municipality. Gestrans is the contracted manager of the transportation system[3] with the buses for both local and commuter services being operated by Transdev.[1]

Services

[edit]

Intercity bus routes operate between Terminus Carrefour Richelieu at 600, rue Pierre-Caisse in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and Panama or Brossard Réseau express métropolitain (REM) stations. Six routes provide local bus service for the core areas of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Saint-Luc, Iberville, Saint-Athanase and L'Acadie. There is also a taxibus system which operates within designated sectors and synchronizes with the scheduled routes.

The City of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu is the agency mandated to provide transportation for people with disabilities throughout the Region of Haut-Richelieu. To be eligible, interested individuals must first submit a request to that effect and attach the required documents.[4]

Until 2026, all intercity buses would go to Terminus Centre-Ville located at 1000 de La Gauchetière in downtown Montreal, with direct access there to the Bonaventure station on the Montreal Metro. In September 2024, the city of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu announced that their regional bus lines would terminate at REM stations when the stations between Montreal Central Station and Deux-Montagnes were set to open in late 2025, citing lesser costs and shorter travel times compared to ending in Downtown Montreal.[5] After being postponed,[6] buses stopped serving downtown Montreal on April 30, 2026.[7]
