The picture you uploaded appears on your onscreen pass to confirm your identity.

* Riders age 14 to 18 may buy their own passes in this category. Riders age 13 or under can’t buy their own passes, but their parent or legal guardian can go to an RTC service or information centre and buy one for them, after providing the required legal authorizations.

As of Monday, December 14, four STLévis fares have been available for purchase via the RTC Nomade paiement app:

• 1 ticket

These fares are not accepted for RTC routes.

Please note that the background colour for animated RTC fares changed on December 14. New RTC fares have a blue background with the RTC logo. STLévis fares have a light grey background with the STLévis logo. The Nomade camel appears at the centre of all fares.
