In the wake of Greyhound Canada’s departure, the popular Ottawa-Montréal route was no longer served by any major bus company. Anybody wanting to travel between the two cities were left to their own devices, and in most cases had to hop on a train or rent a car.
Orléans Express launched its first trip between the two cities on July 8th, 2021.
Owned by the Keolis group and based in Québec, Orléans Express is a major name in the industry and operates an extensive network throughout the province. Transporting thousands of travellers every month, their most popular route is between Montréal and the provincial capital, Québec City.

Hi
I'm looking to get a ride from Gatineau or Ottawa to Montreal airport on Jan 4. My flight leaves on Jan 5 at 7: 20.
I'm travelling with a small Service Dog, for Emotional support. He has all his papers, has a micro chip and have a written letter from my doctor. We have travelled numerous times since 2013, in his pouch on my lap as per requested by my doctor.
He has been accepted with West jet & Air Transat.
Would I be accepted to travel with your company.
Thanks
