Monthly Transit Pass Prices: Quebec Cities Ranked

This ranking compares one thing only: the price of the cheapest monthly pass that lets an adult travel by bus anywhere in their own city. We do not count passes for travelling to another city, discounts offered by an employer or a school, or how often the buses run.

Each price was read on November 9, 2026, on the transit company's official fare page, or on the ARTM's fare schedule for Greater Montréal. When two cities have the same price, they share the same rank. We receive no payment from any transit company. Companies change their prices once or twice a year, often in January or July: always check the official page before you buy.

Magog and Bécancour are not in the ranking: we found no monthly pass price on the official pages of their transit service.

Cities are ranked by the adult price, from cheapest to most expensive. Reduced fares are for the same pass; their conditions are summarized, so read them in full on the official page. For Drummondville and Saguenay, the official page does not say since when these prices apply.

In the Montréal region, the bus company in your city does not set the price: the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain (ARTM) does. The territory is divided into four zones: A for the agglomeration of Montréal, B for Laval and the agglomeration of Longueuil, C for the north and south suburbs, where Terrebonne and Repentigny are, and D outside the territory. Your pass must cover the zone you leave from, the zones you cross and the zone you arrive in.

• You live in Montréal: All Modes A, at $110.00, covers the metro, the REM, trains and buses in zone A. For buses only within zone A, the ARTM also recommends this pass, which is just as affordable as the Bus pass.
• You live in Laval or Longueuil and take the bus in your city: buy the Bus pass, at $119.00, which is valid on buses in zones A, B and C. All Modes A is no use to you: it does not cover zone B.
• You take the metro to Montréal: the Cartier, De la Concorde, Montmorency and Longueuil–Université-de-Sherbrooke stations are in zone B, while the other stations are in zone A. To go from zone B to zone A, you need All Modes AB, at $170.00.
• You live in Terrebonne or Repentigny: the Bus pass, at $119.00, is enough for exo buses in your city; for the train, the REM or the metro into Montréal, you need All Modes ABC, at $206.00. Watch out: the Out-of-Territory Bus pass, at the same price, does not work on STL and RTL buses.

In Lévis, the STLévis monthly pass already includes the Lévis–Québec ferry. To also ride RTC buses in Québec City, you need the Métropolitain pass, at $115.00 a month, or $86.50 at the reduced fare. It gives access to the STLévis and RTC networks, ferry included, and its price is fixed until December 31, 2026.

In Gatineau, the STO monthly pass is also valid on the OC Transpo network in Ottawa.

Almost every company in this ranking offers a cheaper monthly pass to young people or students and to seniors. You almost always need a photo card and proof of age or studies. Some cities also have an income-based fare.

• Greater Montréal: a student aged 18 or over enrolled full time at a recognized institution gets a 40% discount on their pass, loaded onto a photo OPUS card.
• Gatineau: the STO's ECHO program offers a $62.00 monthly pass to low-income Gatineau residents and to newcomers who arrived in Canada within the last 12 months. An eligibility application is required.
• Québec City: the City of Québec's income-based ÉquiMobilité program gives access to an RTC monthly pass at $51.00.
• Trois-Rivières: the STTR's social fare costs $40.50 a month, for vulnerable people aged 22 and over who have been admitted by an organization accredited by the City.
• Saguenay: the STS's social fare costs $55.50 a month, for people who meet certain criteria

This ranking follows the prices in effect today. Two companies have already published next year's prices.

• Gatineau: according to the STO's 2027 fare schedule, which exists only in French, the regular monthly pass will rise to $120.00 on January 1, 2027, the student monthly pass to $74.50 and the seniors' monthly pass to $62.00.
• Trois-Rivières: the STTR already shows its 2027 fares: $83.90 for the general pass, $68.40 for the youth pass and $64.80 for people aged 65 and over. Its page does not give the exact date of the change
