Transit service in St-Hyacinthe is provided by la Compagnie Transport Maskoutaine Inc., a coach company which operates six routes serving the city’s urban population of 52,000 with a small fleet of cutaway minibuses.  All routes meet at the central transfer point on rue Calixa-Lavallée.  In addition, the CIT de la Vallée du Richelieu, an AMT agency, provides a commuter link with Montreal and Longueuil from this transfer point.
