Gare de Sainte-Foy is the main rail station for Sainte-Foy and serves VIA Rail Canada Corridor trains.

Should I reserve seats on trains from Sainte-Foy?

VIA Rail Canada Corridor trains from Sainte-Foy use reserved seating, so your ticket is tied to a specific train and seat assignment where applicable. Booking ahead is recommended for Friday and Sunday travel, university travel periods, long weekends, and winter holidays.
