==History==
!Regular
Transit service in Gatineau started in 1895 and was controlled by the Canadian Pacific Railway. CP Rail operated the service until 1926, where it was sold to Canadian International Paper, a subsidiary of Gatineau Power Company. CIP operated the service until November 30h, 1946.
!Express
 
!Interzone
On December 1st, 1946 the Transport Urbain de Hull was formed and operated the service until the 30th of April 1972 where Transport Urbain de Hull was acquired by the Commission de transport de la communauté regionale de l'Outaouais.
 
The Commission de transport de la communauté regionale de l'Outaouais operated under this name between the 1st of May 1972 and December 31st, 1990 where the name was changed to the name that is known today. With the name change, also came an extension to the service area into Ottawa.

*Whole route is approximately 1hr 10mins long.

===Interzone===
*Interzone routes provide express service to the outlying areas of Buckingham and Masson-Angers.
*For a short period of time, both routes (as well as express route 88) would exit Highway 50 from Montée Paiement to take advantage of the bus lanes on Gréber/Fournier. However, due to customer complaints, this is now only done when necessary as it otherwise adds a significant amount of travel time.

The Société de Transport de l'Outaouais provides service to the city of Gatineau as well as the municipalities of Chelsea and Cantley in the MRC des Collines. Connections are made in Downtown Ottawa on Rideau Street.

History

Transit service in Gatineau started in 1895 and was controlled by the Canadian Pacific Railway. CP Rail operated the service until 1926, where it was sold to Canadian International Paper, a subsidiary of Gatineau Power Company. CIP operated the service until November 30h, 1946.

On December 1st, 1946 the Transport Urbain de Hull was formed and operated the service until the 30th of April 1972 where Transport Urbain de Hull was acquired by the Commission de transport de la communauté regionale de l'Outaouais.

The Commission de transport de la communauté regionale de l'Outaouais operated under this name between the 1st of May 1972 and December 31st, 1990 where the name was changed to the name that is known today. With the name change, also came an extension to the service area into Ottawa.
