Fares
- The STS implemented in 2018 a radiofrequency fare card called La Vermeilleuse. The card is based on the same system as the Multi card currently used by Société de transport de l'Outaouais and Société de transport de Trois-Rivières. This calls for the phasing out of the tokens.
- Current
- The STS has a program called passe universelle which is monthly pass that gets included in the tuition fees of participating institutions. Currently the most notable participants are the Université de Sherbrooke and the Cégep de Sherbrooke.
