The Réseau de Transport de la Capitale (RTC) provides transit service to the people of the city of Québec, Quebec. It took over public transit in Lévis from Société de Transport de la Communauté Urbaine de Québec on January 1, 2002. The RTC operates bus routes with a fleet of buses.

History

The Réseau de Transport de la Capitale took over the Société de Transport de la Communauté Urbaine de Québec (STCUQ) in June, 2002. The change came into effect to reflect the city merger of 2001-2002. The STCUQ was in operation since January, 1994 and had replaced the Commission de Transport de la Communauté Urbaine de Québec, which was in operation since 1969. The official name of the actual RTC is actually the Société de Transport de Québec (STQ), but that name is only used on offical documents or registrations.
