webfil Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Southern MRC Les Collines-de-l'Outaouais municipalities (La Pêche, Cantley and Val-des-Monts) will organize their own transit system starting 2015, branded Transcollines, in lieue of subcontracting to the STO. The service plan actually includes numerous routes, including service from park-'n-ride hubs to Rapibus stations, counter- and off-peak departures, cross-regional routes and taxibuses. Service is organized by route number groups : 900-919 : unallocated 920-929 : Chelsea / La Pêche ― Gatineau routes 930-939 : Cantley ― Gatineau routes 940-949 : Val-des-Monts ― Gatineau routes 950-959 : unallocated 960-969 : Regional routes 990-999 : Taxibus routes Unallocated decades are presumably reserved for eventual expansion to the 3 other MRC Les Collines-de-l'Outaouais constituants ― Pontiac, L'Ange-Gardien and Notre-Dame-de-la-Sallette ― although the latter, home to 772 people, is unlikely to have service in a long-term horizon. Transcollines plans on buying 4 Vicinity midibuses and 2 cutaway minibuses, and double the number of departures vs. actual STO service.

DavidW Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Another new system. Cool! I didn't see a start date (other than sometime this year). Has there been anything public about a launch date? P.S. I wonder if this thread belongs under "National Capital Region" (which covers Ottawa and Gatineau).

webfil Posted February 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Another new system. Cool! I didn't see a start date (other than sometime this year). Has there been anything public about a launch date? Service will be progressively put in place during summer 2015, with adjustments. P.S. I wonder if this thread belongs under "National Capital Region" (which covers Ottawa and Gatineau). While STO has regular service to Ottawa, TransCollines does not reach Ontario. Thread subtitle states "Discussion of transit in the Province of Ontario". It is still possible to link it down from there with a post-it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2044 Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Is operations contracted to a private operator? Autobus Campeau has Vicinities on order, I'm curious if they are for Transcollines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webfil Posted April 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 According to verbatims, yes. The Campeau fleet for Transcollines should be, contractually, a minimum : 2 LFS 2 Vicinity 3 Girardin G5 Wiki was duely modified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oc4526 Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 The full Transcollians website is now active. (both English & French)I noticed there is a integration with Sto users ( Multi Card) but nothing about compatibility with the Presto card (Oc Transpo users) I also like how the route maps are integrated with Google Maps.

MTL66 Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 did they purchase it or just on a short term loan until the new units arrive? Short Term Lease, they will also have the Ex-Hoston Demos while their LFS is still on the production line. They have also purchased an Ex-La Quebecoise LFS, but I forget the # ATM.

MTL66 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Would that Lfs be a Suburban model? Indeed it is à suburbain model that was assigned to the CIT Sorel-Varennes when LA Québécoise operated the service. Where is the best place to get pictures of this service? I will be in Ottawa on Friday, going to try and arrive for the AM rush and want to get the most pictures of the new service as possible. Looking for a place where the most routes arrive at as possible, there doesn't seem to be a system map on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Arriving from the east and depart from the west).(On Blvd De La Carrière) The Cantley routes seem to be based out of Stn De La Gappe (Stops located on Rue de Turin) the rest are based out of De La Cité (Stop locations unknown) The Mini bus does the mid day round trip between La Pêche and Cantley (Via Gatineau) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
