History

Full history +

1959

The Beginning

In 1959, Robert Guignard, a postal worker and cab driver, decided to lend a hand in Rivière-Ouelle and its surroundings by transporting students to Collège Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pocatière by snowmobile.

1960

Purchase

When the Commission scolaire Pascal-Taché was established in 1960, Guignard purchased his first school bus and officially became a school bus driver.

1984

Acquisition

In 1984, Daniel Guignard and his wife bought the family business, which later became Transport Daniel Guignard.

1994

Growth

The company continued to grow. In 1994, Transport Daniel Guignard acquired Autocar Lord in Sainte-Louise, along with its 10 school buses and luxury coach. This acquisition ushered in a new era for the company, which became Autocar Bas St-Laurent and began specializing in chartered transportation.

2006

Next Generation

In 2006, Guignard handed the reins over to his daughter, Frédérique Guignard. Despite the change in management, the company remained focused on employee transportation, public transit, medical transportation, incoming tourism and new market development.

Today

Going Strong

After more than 50 years, Autocar Bas St-Laurent now has over 20 vehicles in its fleet. And despite constant challenges and obstacles, the Lower St. Lawrence company is still rolling!
