Waterway shuttle services
Would you like to get to Parc Jean-Drapeau quickly with your bike? Do you want to go by boat to Longueuil, to the îles de Boucherville or to Pointe-aux-Trembles? The city offers several waterway shuttle services. Here’s everything you need to know.
River shuttles are an alternative public transportation solution. They are run by private operators. You can take a walk, a bike ride or even go rollerblading along the Saint-Laurent and the Rivière des Prairies.
Water levels may delay when the river shuttles are on the water. At the start of the season, check schedules before heading out.
