Communauto, the fastest growing ride-share company in the Greater Montreal Area, is expanding to the the east side of the West Island.

The company offers various services, including what it calls “flex-based service” where drivers can pick up parked vehicles that are free for use without a reservation by searching for vehicle locations on the App. This service will expand to Lachine. The company also has stations on its map of services which will now be added to Dorval. The company will also add some 1,100 vehicles to its fleet island-wide, including minivans to serve the growing needs of the community, particularly the suburban community. In that addition, 200 vehicles will be added to its flex-based service and 900 will be added to its stations.

According to statements issued by Communauto, it estimates that each car it put into circulation replaces 10 independents. n
