Payment by credit card or smartphone: soon available in all our buses!

As you know, paying for your STL bus ride with your credit card or mobile wallet has been around for some years on certain buses weekdays and network-wide weekends.

You weren’t aware? Learn more about all the payment methods accepted to take the bus in Laval.  

We know it’s a payment option that simplifies commuters’ lives. Which is why, by summer 2021, we plan to have all our buses across our entire network outfitted with new terminals that will accept payments via:

• credit card (Visa and Mastercard)
• smartphone payment app
• a new smart transfer feature that will recognize your credit card when switching buses so you can continue your trip without being charged a second time

The new terminals are more modern, which will allow us to eventually also include:

• contactless debit card payments (e.g. with your Interac card)
• more credit cards (e.g. American Express)

Supported and funded by the ARTM, this payment solution results from a new partnership with Flowbird and Moneris focused on facilitating public transit for the Laval population and other users of the STL.
