Bus stop


Each bus stop sign clearly indicates the number of each bus route that passes by that stop. You will also find the number of the bus stop, which will allow you to access our Infobus system and find out when the next two buses will go by.

Infobus

Info Plus
New indicator lights on the Info Plus panels Info Plus


In its ongoing efforts to keep you better informed, the STO is innovating with a new variable message sign system called Info Plus that is currently being tested. It displays real-time information on when the next two buses will be passing for all the bus routes that serve the stop. Furthermore, this intelligent system adjusts the time on the illuminated panel to show whether buses are ahead of time or delayed. It also allows the STO to scroll text messages in a special area on the panel. This way, if traffic is congested due to roadwork or a snowstorm, you can be updated on the reason for the change in schedule.

New indicator lights on the Info Plus panels

Green indicator lights have been lighting up on the Info Plus panels to give more detailed information on when buses will be passing the stop. A green light means that the time shown is the real time that the bus will pass, whereas no light means that the time shown is the scheduled time.

Securibus


Through this program, children who need help, either because they are lost, hurt or being followed, can turn to bus drivers for help. Children just have to wave at the driver to be allowed onto the bus and given a chance to explain their situation. The driver will then be able to help the child by contacting the STO through a two-way radio.

The Securibus program is a joint effort with the Comité régional de prévention du crime de l'Outaouais (CRPCO). It also enables drivers to reach the police quickly when they witness fires or accidents.

Courtesy stops


Available after 9 :00 pm every night on all routes in the network, this service is designed especially for passengers who are alone at night and, for reasons of safety or mobility, want to get off closer to their destination or in a location that is better lit than the regular bus stop. They need only notify the driver, who will then let the passenger spot between two stops.
