High schools and school routes

To get to school and get around Laval by bus, you need to ride the STL! We’ll explain all the steps for taking the bus without any worries.

I’m starting the new school year off on the right foot!

Find my bus route

With over 40 school routes integrated into its network, the STL carries students to various private and public high schools in Laval.

Want to find out if one of these routes serves your school and district?

Find my school route

Is there no integrated school route serving your school? Our regular network will get you there. Use our trip planner to see your options.

Enjoy a reduced fare

To access the reduced fare for high school students, you need to get an OPUS card with photo ID at a metropolitan ticket office starting August 1. Whether you’re taking an integrated school route or a regular bus route, you need to pay for your ride by purchasing a pass known as a “transit fare” which you charge on your OPUS card. Learn how to get your card and make sure to have all the required documents on hand to get it.

Find the right fare for me

Depending on how frequent you travel, one type of fare may be a better value than another.

• More than 23 trips per month: go with the monthly pass.

• Occasional trips (23 trips or less): go with the 1-, 2- or 10-trip pass.

Good to know: There are specific fares for schools that are part of the Centre de services scolaires de Laval (CSSL) and the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board (SWLSB).

FIRST TIME TAKING THE BUS? NO WORRIES!

Before leaving

Horloge I find the stops where I need to get on and off the bus, for the outbound and return trip: my boarding stop at the end of the day may be different from the stop where I got off the bus at the start of the day.

To find my boarding stop, I can:

look at the map of my school and my journey (integrated school routes only)

follow the route suggested by the trip planner (all bus routes)

I make sure to have my OPUS card with photo ID loaded with a valid fare or to have exact change to pay for my ride. Debit cards are also accepted on the bus (some conditions apply).

 

At the stop

Autobus I get to the bus stop at least five minutes before the scheduled arrival time.

I check the route number on the bus as it approaches to make sure I get on the right bus.

I prepare to pay my fare by having my payment method ready: OPUS card, cash or debit card.

I make sure the bus driver notices that I want to get on board (I can give them a hand signal, get closer to the bus stop and look in the direction of the bus). For my safety, I will never run after a bus if I miss it.

 

 

Boarding

Carte OPUS I tap my OPUS card on the reader located at the entrance or I pay my fare by dropping the change in the farebox slot.

I am ready to show my OPUS card’s photo ID if it’s the payment method I used.

I walk toward the back of the bus to free up the front.

I don’t have a reserved spot : it’s first come, first served.

 

On the bus

For my comfort and the comfort of others:

Sourire I am always respectful toward the driver and other passengers.
 
Sac I keep my personal items on me or by my feet to make room for everyone.
 
AssisI don’t stretch my legs into the aisle when I’m seated because someone might trip over them.
 
Poignée de main I stay calm. I don’t yell and I don’t bicker with anyone.
 
Nourriture I don’t eat or drink on the bus to keep the bus clean.
 
Son Whether I’m listening to music or speaking on the phone, I wear headphones and lower my voice so that I don’t distract the driver or disturb nearby passengers.
 

For my safety and the safety of others:

 
Poteau I hold onto a pole or strap when I’m standing so I don’t fall over.
 
Autobus I don’t hang any part of my body outside the window and I don’t throw anything out the window or inside the bus.
 
Attention I can alert the driver if I need help in an emergency.
 
Sanction Criminal acts such as theft, vandalism and property damage will not be tolerated. Violators are liable to penalties.
 

To get off the bus

Souliers I press the stop button located on the poles or I gently pull on the bell cord located alongside the windows to alert the driver that I want to get off at the next stop.

I head toward the back door, whenever possible, instead of the front door of the bus.

I push the handle or I move my hand under the motion detector to open the door.

I let the bus drive off before I safely cross the street.
