The Réseau de transport de la Capitale (RTC) was established in 2002 with the merger of Société de transport de la Communauté urbaine de Québec and la Société de transport de Québec to provide urban public transit services in the Quebec City area.
Among its services, the RTC operates four bus rapid transit lines—lines 800 through 804—branded Métrobus. Lines 800 and 801 run together from De Marly to Dorchester/de la Couronne, where line 801 continues on to Terminus du Zoo, while line 800 diverges to the Montmorency falls. Line 802 run from Terminus Beauport to Station Belvédère. Then, line 803 runs from Terminus les Saules to Terminus Beauport, through Le Mesnil, Lebourgneuf and Charlesbourg. Line 804 links Sainte-Foy with Loretteville going through the Terminus les Saules and the Université Laval campus and then finally the 807 goes between the Pointe-Sainte-Foy and Place D'Youville by riding along the Chemin Sainte-Foy until it merges to Rue Saint-Jean. Service is every 5 minutes during peak times, every 10 minutes before and after then, and every 15 minutes during less-travelled times.
In addition to regular routes, the RTC also provides:
A study concluded in March 2003 states the introduction of light rail transit services is feasible for the entire area.
