1. exo, your link to Montreal
Repentigny is served by exo, Greater Montreal's regional train and bus network.
In Repentigny, service is mainly provided by bus lines connecting the city to the Radisson metro terminus in east-end Montreal; at rush hour the 200 Express line takes 30 to 35 minutes.
2. The main routes
Several express and local bus routes serve Repentigny. The Montreal-bound lines 200, 300 and 400 leave from the Repentigny bus terminal, at 475 rue Leclerc.
Check schedules on exo.quebec or via the Chrono app to track your bus in real time.
3. OPUS card and fare zones
Greater Montreal is divided into fare zones managed by the ARTM.
Repentigny is in Zone C. For a trip to downtown Montreal, the ALL MODES ABC pass is needed. The monthly pass is almost always cheaper for commuters.
4. Where to get and reload your OPUS card
You can get an OPUS card and your fares at ARTM points of sale — ticket offices, vending machines and authorized retailers such as some pharmacies — including the ticket office and vending machine at the Repentigny bus terminal. You can also reload your card in the Chrono app on your smartphone.
The photo OPUS card is required for reduced fares — students, 65+.
5. Choosing your destination: three typical trips
Three typical trips sum up Repentigny-Montreal mobility:
- East-end Montreal — 200 Express bus to the Radisson terminus, 30 to 35 minutes at rush hour, then the green metro line
- Downtown — bus to Radisson, then the green line; get your door-to-door time from exo's trip planner
- Laval or the north suburbs — the car is often more efficient; exo buses are Montreal-oriented
6. Park-and-ride lots and combining car with bus
Park-and-ride lots are the key to the exo model: you arrive by car in the morning, leave your vehicle in the lot, and take the express bus to Montreal.
In Repentigny, the Repentigny bus terminal (475 rue Leclerc) has 282 parking spaces and is the departure point of lines 200, 300 and 400 to Montreal. Arrive early at rush hour.
If it is full, other lots exist in the region; check the interactive map on exo.quebec.
7. Fares at a glance
ARTM fares are set by fare zone and pass type. Since Repentigny is in Zone C, the monthly ALL MODES ABC pass allows unlimited exo bus, metro and Montreal bus rides.
Single tickets only pay off for occasional trips.
Always check the up-to-date fare grid at artm.quebec before buying — prices are adjusted yearly. At 2026 rates, a single ALL MODES ABC fare costs $7 and the monthly pass $206: the monthly pass pays off as soon as you exceed about 30 trips per month, the typical situation for a daily round-trip commuter. Children 11 and under ride free at all times in the Greater Montreal area when supervised by a person aged 14 or older (up to 5 children per person).

8. Frequently asked questions
The most common questions from new Repentigny residents about transit: real travel time downtown at rush hour, bus frequency in evenings and weekends, and choosing between car and bus based on work profile.
How long does it really take to get downtown Montreal by exo?
It depends on the time of day and your connections. At rush hour, the 200 Express line runs from the Repentigny terminal to the Radisson terminus in 30 to 35 minutes; the 400 line via Sherbrooke, with more stops, takes about 38 to 40 minutes.
At Radisson you continue downtown on the green metro line. For your real door-to-door time, enter your addresses in exo's trip planner.
Off-peak (evenings, weekends), departures are further apart, so the trip takes longer. By car, the time varies a lot with traffic and weather.
Do exo buses run in the evening and on weekends?
It depends on the line. Most Montreal lines are built for weekday commuters: the 200 Express line leaves for Radisson between 5:43 and 8:25 am, with only a few departures later in the day, and has no weekend service — nor do lines 100 and 300.
The 400 line via Sherbrooke runs every day: on weekdays it has several departures an hour at rush hour and about two an hour in the evening; on weekends, about one an hour. Always check the current schedule on exo.quebec or via the Chrono app before relying on a return trip late at night.
For atypical work hours (evening shifts, weekends), a car is often necessary.
Car or exo bus: which should I choose if I live in Repentigny and work in Montreal?
Depends on your destination and work hours.
- East-end Montreal (Radisson, Honoré-Beaugrand, Pie-IX) — the exo express bus is competitive on time, much cheaper than parking downtown, and lets you read or rest
- Downtown — bus + metro takes about the same time as car + parking, but downtown parking is expensive, while the monthly ABC pass costs $206
- Laval, West Island, off-island industrial parks — the car usually wins because exo is Montreal-oriented
Test your real commute on a weekday at rush hour before committing to either.
