Quebec City (YQB): route 80 to Parc-Victoria, route 76 to the train
RTC route 80 is signed for the airport and runs 05:57 to 01:09. Route 76 links the terminal with Sainte-Foy railway station from 05:20.
- Route 80 is the airport route, headsigned Aeroport international Jean-Lesage in one direction and Terminus Parc-Victoria in the other.
- It runs 05:57 to 01:09, with over 12,000 scheduled calls in the published timetable, so it is a frequent everyday service.
- Route 76 is the one for the train: Aeroport international Jean-Lesage to Gare de train de Sainte-Foy, 05:20 to 23:48.
- Sainte-Foy is the station for Via Rail's Montreal trains, which makes route 76 more useful than it looks.
- The stops at the airport are called Aerogare, plus a cluster named l'Aeroport on the surrounding streets.
- Routes 279, 280, 380 and 580 serve L'Ancienne-Lorette, the town the airport sits in, with links to the Colline Parlementaire and Universite Laval.
- Terminus Parc-Victoria is in Saint-Roch, the lower town, and is a main RTC hub.
- The airport is about 11 km west of Old Quebec.
The two routes that matter
- Route 80 carries the airport in its headsign: Aeroport international Jean-Lesage (Nord) and Terminus Parc-Victoria (Sud). It runs 05:57 to 01:09 and has more than 12,000 scheduled calls in the RTC's own data, which makes it one of the network's busiest.
- Route 76 runs Aeroport international Jean-Lesage (Nord) to Gare de train de Sainte-Foy (Sud), 05:20 to 23:48. That is the connection to Via Rail for Montreal.
The local network around the airport
- Routes 279 and 280 run between L'Ancienne-Lorette and the Colline Parlementaire, the parliamentary hill in the upper town, 06:18 to 18:24.
- Route 380 runs to Cegep Garneau via Universite Laval; route 580 to Sainte-Foy Centre via the university.
- Route 79 passes nearby between Des Chatels and Terminus Les Saules.
The stops
- Aerogare is the terminal stop.
- A group of stops named l'Aeroport sits on the roads around it, along with 6e Avenue, 7e Rue, 9e Rue and Chauveau in L'Ancienne-Lorette.
- L'Ancienne-Lorette is a separate municipality enclosed by Quebec City, and the airport is in it.
Getting into town
- Old Quebec is about 11 km east. Terminus Parc-Victoria on route 80 puts you in Saint-Roch, at the foot of the hill.
- For the Chateau Frontenac and the walled city, you change or walk up from the lower town.
- For Montreal, use route 76 to Sainte-Foy and take the train rather than going into the city first.
