The Acadian Peninsula's Public Transit service is not responsible for items lost and/or left in the vehicle.

However, if objects are found, they will be dropped off to be claimed at the APRSC's head office located at 220 boulevard Saint-Pierre West, door 5 in Caraquet.

There are several ways to reserve your seat:

• Mobile application (Blaise Transit)
• By visiting the website: ride.blaisetransit.com
• By telephone by dialing (506) 616-1616 Monday to Friday between 8:30 a.m. and noon and then from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

For logistical reasons, users are only permitted to board or disembark at pre-booked stops.

Please inform the driver immediately. The latter will be able to stop the vehicle and assess the gravity of the situation. He will contact the appropriate emergency service if necessary.

For security reasons, the driver is not authorized to make one or more stops other than those established beforehand by the service. So, if you are not at a designated pick-up point or are not there at the agreed time when booking, the vehicle will not stop.

The bus should arrive in up to, but not exceeding five (5) minutes. If the delay should be extended or if a modification to the schedule should be made for unusual reasons (examples: harsh weather conditions, road accidents), users will be notified via the mobile application, the service Facebook page, the website or by contacting the service dispatcher at (506) 616-1616.

When “opposite of” is written, it means that you must refer to the opposite direction of the road where the waypoint is located. For example, if it says “Opposite of – Canada Post”, you must wait for the bus on the other side of the road from the Canada Post service point (across the road from Canada Post).

The rule is to always wait for the bus in the same direction as road traffic, that is to say, the direction of your destination. For example, if you want to go to Caraquet, make sure you are on the same side of the vehicles that are heading towards Caraquet.

Once accepted, a reservation cannot be modified in the application. However, you can cancel at any time before your departure and submit a new booking request.

You may then submit a new booking request. However, this must be done at least 2 hours before the anticipated departure.

A lightweight and compact stroller is permitted on the bus. It must be folded before boarding.

The Acadian Peninsula's Public Transit service will notify its users of any service interruption via the Blaise Transit application, the Facebook page, the website, on the service's answering machine at (506) 616-1616 as well as on CKRO's airwaves.
