What are the eligibility criteria?

The companion card is reserved for people with intellectual, cognitive or visual disabilities whose functional limitations justify the need for support when using the regular public transport network due to a problem of:

  • personal safety
  • orientation in time
  • orientation in space

How to obtain a companion card?

The attendant card is issued free of charge to all paratransit users who can travel on the regular bus network with the help of an attendant.

How to use the card?

The attendant card must be presented to the bus driver when boarding. It allows your companion to benefit from free transportation on the regular bus network

The use of the attendant card is strictly reserved for its holder and may not, under any circumstances, be transferred to another person.
