Transcollines

Transcollines is a public transit agency serving the Regional County Municipalities of Pontiac and Les Collines-de-l'Outaouais in Quebec, Canada.

History In 2011, the Regional Municipality of Les Collines-de-l'Outaouais looked into the possibility of replacing bus service contracted by the Société de transport de l'Outaouais (STO) with a distinct transit network and combining it with the existing regional paratransit system.

A transit agency was formed in 2013 to replace all the existing agencies. A contract was granted to Autobus Campeau, and after some delays, service began on June 15, 2015.

In its first year of service, Transcollines made 180,000 trips and had 270 regular users with monthly passes. In 2018, there were 261,768 trips and 494 regular monthly users. In 2023, there were 203,210 trips made.

Service Transcollines has four types of bus service:

Fixed-route scheduled bus and minibus service Intercity coach service between L'Isle-aux-Alumettes and Ottawa On-demand service Paratransit
