Société de transport de Sherbrooke

Société de transport de Sherbrooke (STS) provides public transit services to Sherbrooke, the only major city in the Eastern Townships (Estrie) region of Quebec, Canada. After the amalgamation of what are now neighbouring boroughs into a regional municipality in 2002, service was expanded to cover the entire city with 41 routes and a fleet of more than 80 buses. STS is owned and operated by the city.

Specials routes
Specials Routes are in service 7 days a week, in the early morning or late evening, as a way to serve all the lines with fewer buses. Specials routes' frequency may vary from once a day to once per hour.

Transfer Points
Three points in the city are used for transfers between buses. At the corner of King and Sauvé streets in the Rock Forest sector, routes 17 and 18 are waiting for each other, every time.
