🤩 It’s official!

PRESS RELEASE: La Pêche, December 17, 2024 – A new on-demand transportation service is now available in the Municipality of Pontiac!

Thanks to a new agreement with the team at Taxi Loyal, Transcollines On-Demand (TOD) is expanding! This flexible schedule and route service complements the existing fixed-route and on-demand transportation services already available in other sectors of the MRC des Collines-de-l’Outaouais (Chelsea, Cantley, La Pêche, Val-des-Monts) to serve new customers who previously did not have access to the current network.

Transcollines On-Demand is:

A Personalized Public Transit Service

The Transcollines app offers routes and virtual stops based on the user’s starting and destination points.

A Public Transit Service by Reservation

This service operates with reservations. Users can book one or more trips from 2 hours up to 30 days in advance.

A Flexible Public Transit Service

The vehicle’s route is not fixed and adapts to the needs of the user and other passengers who may have reserved trips in the same direction.

A Schedule to Kick-Start the Service

To ensure smooth operation and a proper launch, Transcollines On-Demand will be available on the territory of the Municipality of Pontiac according to the following schedule:
Monday to Friday, from 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM (for stops within the municipality and transfer points in the Aylmer and Hull sectors of Gatineau).

An Affordable Service

The on-demand service will be offered at the same rates as regular public transit, namely $5 per trip. Users can also use a Transcollines pass to take advantage of the service. See the full fare schedule here: Transcollines.ca.

The development of this service in several sectors such as Quyon, Luskville, and Breckenridge enhances transportation coverage across the Hills. It is important to note that the pick-up or drop-off point for the desired trip must be located in the designated zones on the map to access the service.
