exo Le Richelain provides public transit to the municipalities of Candiac, La Prairie and Saint-Philippe. It is operated by Transdev Québec under contract since January 1st, 2019.

History

exo Le Richelain was created on June 1st, 2017 under new legislation reorganizing public transit in the greater Montréal area, which replaced AMT with RTM. It took over services previously operated by Conseil intermunicipal de transport Le Richelain, which was created in 1984.

The original operator was Autobus La Québécoise Roussillon, a subsidiary of Groupe Swiftrans, carrying over from the CIT Le Richelain contract. Transdev Québec was awarded the contract effective January 1st 2019. With this change comes 43 buses, of which 28 (20 urban buses and 8 minibuses) are new and branded according to exo scheme. The remaining 15 second hand units will be painted.^[1]

On July 1st, 2024, Autobus Fleur de Lys will be filling in some operations.
