Transdev U.S. congratulates Transdev Canada on being selected by exo to operate and maintain Greater Montréal’s commuter rail network effective July 2026.. This significant achievement highlights Transdev’s deep rail expertise and the strength of its integrated mobility presence across Canada.
The contract runs through June 30, 2040, and includes a one‑year mobilization period to ensure a smooth transition from the current provider, as well as two optional two‑year extensions.

The network spans five commuter rail lines and plays a vital role in connecting communities across the Montréal region.
This contract further strengthens Transdev Canada’s role in building a seamless mobility ecosystem—integrating rail with bus, paratransit, school transportation, and other services to enhance regional connectivity and improve the passenger experience.
Transdev has been active in Canada for more than 50 years, operating in six provinces (Ontario, Manitoba, Québec, Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia) and the Northwest Territories. Transdev Canada delivers a wide range of mobility solutions, with a workforce of over 6,500 employees.
