Before the bus, public transit was provided in the form of a tramway operated by the Quebec Railway, Light & Power Company.

The tramway began to be converted to buses in 1937, and this conversion was complete by 1948 with the closure of the line in Saint-Sauveur.

[3] The CTCUQ improved transit in Quebec City in numerous ways: dedicated bus lanes on certain arterial roads in 1975, express routes in 1977, and the establishment of the Parc-O-Bus in 1980.

Most notably, this plan put in place the Métrobus and Couche-tard services, more dedicated bus lanes, and network changes.

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 De Marly and Place D'Youville by riding along the Chemin Sainte-Foy until it merges to Rue Saint-Jean.

[6] A study concluded in March 2003, stated the introduction of light rail transit services would be feasible for the entire area.
