In short
Paratransit is a door-to-door public transit service that operates by reservation. The fare is the same as that for a regular public transport service. However, there are certain limitations or additional costs associated with requesting a ride that takes you outside of the area designated by the paratransit company.
To have access to paratransit service, you must first meet the eligibility criteria. To do this, a doctor or rehabilitation professional will need to complete a form on your physical condition.
For more information on paratransit in Quebec, visit the Ministry of Transport of Quebec website (see the menu on the left).

It is recommended that you use the services of an attendant when traveling since there is a gap between the platform floor and the train. You just have to indicate your need to the ticket office employee and wait for the arrival of a guide. He will make you use the access ramp located at the first car, at the head of the train.

**SOS Taxi
This service allows people using a mobility aid to have access to an adapted cab, in less than an hour, in emergency situations. The main objective of this new service is therefore to move, as quickly as possible, on the territory of the island of Montreal, in an adapted vehicle, the disabled person who requests it, his mobility aid, his guide dog or assistance and, as the case may be, dependents, to an identified place. Some examples of emergency situations covered by this service:
A person needs to go to a hospital urgently, but does not need the services of an ambulance. Note that this service is not intended for travel for medical appointments, since this is not an emergency situation.
- A person using a mobility aid must go to a health facility to join or accompany one of their dependents (for example their child).
- A person is unwell in a public place and must be accompanied home.
- A fire, violent situation, accident or other emergency forces a person with a disability to quickly leave a place.
To use this service, call 514 277-3344, mention to the dispatcher that you are in an emergency, as well as the SOS TAXI code. This is a service without reservation, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The current rate is that of the taximeter, payable in cash or by billing. Always keep the number with you, it might be useful to you!
