About Orléans Express

Orléans Express is an intercity coach service that has operated since 1990. It links Montreal and Quebec City with towns in the Bas-Saint-Laurent and Gaspésie, along the St. Lawrence.

Orléans Express suits students, travellers without a car and anyone who would rather read or nap than drive the highway. It is a practical way to reach summer destinations along the river or visit family in the regions over the holidays. Booking ahead for busy weekends is a good idea. For many Quebecers, the coach is part of the long trip home to the east of the province.
