Exo provides 219 bus lines, on-demand transit and paratransit service throughout the outer suburbs and exurbs of the Greater Montreal region of Canada.[3]

History

[edit]

Prior to June 2017, bus service within the greater region of Montréal was provided by a number of different local and regional transit agencies known as Conseils Intermunicipal de Transport (CIT), or Inter-municipal transit commissions. In addition, a few suburban towns also ran their own transit services. All of these CITs and local agencies were, however, integrated logistically and collected fares under the umbrella of the former Agence métropolitaine de transport (AMT), a provincial agency created in 1997 to manage and integrate road transport and public transportation in Greater Montreal, as well as operate commuter rail for the region.

On June 1, 2017, the AMT was disbanded and replaced by two new entities, the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain (ARTM), mandated to plan and integrate public transit and fares across the Greater Montreal region, and the Réseau de transport métropolitain (RTM), to organize and run the commuter train network and unite all public transport expertise of the former AMT with that of the CIT transit organizations in the northern and southern suburbs, including paratransit services.

The RTM took over service operation of over twelve former CITs and local transit agencies:[4]

Fares

[edit]
As of July 1, 2024
See also: Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain § Fare_structure

Exo services operate within the integrated fare structure of the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain (ARTM) for Greater Montreal. Exo bus sectors are exclusively in zones C and D, though some express or regional buses have destinations in zones A or B.[8]

Certain sectors may have their own particularities, such as fare-free local travel.[9]

Some municipalities served by Exo outside of the ARTM territory are charged as a Zone D fare, even if they are not on the ARTM's list.[10]
