Travelling with young children

When travelling with young children, plan ahead to ensure a safe and pleasant trip.

In the métro

• Don't cross the yellow textured edge tiles until the train comes to a full stop.
• Allow other passengers to exit the train before boarding.
• Have your children board the métro car one at a time, without shoving.
• Ask your children to hold on to a support pole if there are no available seats. Don't let them sit on the floor.
• Prepare your children to disembark one stop ahead of time.

On the bus

• While waiting for the bus, stand away from the curb.
• For boarding and moving inside the bus more easily, we recommend that you use a stroller no wider than 56 cm as an alternative to umbrella strollers.
• On the bus, ask your children to hold on to a support pole if there are no available seats. Don't let them sit on the floor.
• Remind them to NEVER put their head or limbs outside the windows.

Travelling with a stroller

Plan your trip ahead of time

• On the bus or in the métro, use an umbrella stroller. Lightweight and practical, they take up little room and are easy to fold and unfold with one hand.
• You might also consider other options such as baby carriers.
• A small backpack used as a diaper bag can simplify your journey.
• Avoid rush hours by travelling between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.

In the métro

• At turnstyles, use the gates reserved for wheelchairs and strollers.
• Some métro stations can be accessed by elevator.

On the bus

• Aboard low-floor buses, you have priority access to the reserved area if it is not already occupied by someone in a wheelchair.
• You must always board the bus via the front door, but to limit trafic near the driver, it is asked to go out by the rear door.
