Flexi Transport en commun does not provide booster seats for children. Parents must therefore bring their own booster seat if necessary.
The service now has three main routes: Caraquet, covering Village Blanchard and Bas-Caraquet; Shippagan, including Le Goulet and Haut-Shippagan; and Tracadie, serving Saint-Isidore and Losier Settlement. The central connection point at Pokemouche makes it easy to link these three routes for travel between communities.

Users are allowed to travel with bags and other items that they can carry themselves. Please ensure that your items do not obstruct the passageway or occupy an extra seat.

Reservations can be made in several ways:
For logistical reasons, users are only allowed to embark or disembark at pre-booked stops.
Please inform the driver immediately. He will be able to stop the vehicle and assess the seriousness of the situation. He will contact the appropriate emergency service, if necessary.
For safety reasons, the driver is not authorized to make any stops other than those established in advance by the service. Therefore, if you are not at a designated pick-up point or you are not there at the agreed time, the vehicle will not stop.
The bus should arrive within up to, but not exceeding, five (5) minutes.
