Susie51 Posted September 10, 2010 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I did a search for bus maps and schedulis, but everything was written in French. Does anyone know how I can get an English version? We are taking the Quebec City and Falls shore ex which ends at the airport. We are going to take the hotel shuttle van to the hotel from the airport and then go back to places we would like to spend more time at. To do this we want to use the bus system if possible. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susie51 Posted September 10, 2010 Author #5 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Thank you for your quick replies. rtcquebec.ca/Desjardinsh was the most helpful. The other sites the schedules were only in French. I am staying at the Comfort Inn Airport. I want to get to the lower part of Old Quebec City.

YXU AC*SE Posted September 10, 2010 #6 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Here is a route map for you. http://www.rtcquebec.ca/Portals/0/docs/pdf/HorairesEtTrajets/HorairesEtTrajets/Carte_Reseau_RTC_Automne_2010.pdf There isn't a single bus that will get you to the lower town. From the Airport area (E7 on the map), you will need to catch the #78 bus to the Terminus les Saules (G10) -- which is a suburban transfer station. From there, it is the #280 eXpress bus downtown (centre-ville) and then a transfer to the #1 bus at Place Jacques-Cartier (G15) downtown. The #1 will take you to the lower town (G17-ish -- that is the Gare Fluviale -- the Québec-to-Lévis ferry terminal) Bonnes vacances, Scott.

GTJ Posted October 9, 2010 #7 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Unless one is going to a tourist spot catering to people from English Canada or the United States, you're not going to find much English anyplace outside of Montreal. Remember, the official language of Quebec is French. That being said, using public transportation is not a big deal since the most important aspects--the route maps and the times, don't require knowledge of the language. The most important words for using public transportation are the following. Lundi au vendredi = Monday through Friday Samedi = Saturday Dimanche = Sunday Vers = To De = From Horaire = Timetable Carte = Map For the most part, all the other words are details that are not essential. But using a timetable (or map) published in French is really no different than using a timetable (or map) in English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
