Changes downtown
Downtown, routes 4, 9, 29, 36, 74, 80, 82, 84, 85 and 86 will be modified to now end at the Parc-Victoria terminus due to TramCité construction sites and high traffic volume in the area. To travel between Lower Town and Upper Town, customers are invited to transfer to Métrobus 801 and 805.
Revised services in Old Québec
Bus service in the Old Québec area has been revised as part of a consultation process in order to provide better stability and predictability in a context of road obstructions. Starting August 22, two new routes will be added to the area's service offering:
- Route 5 which will provide a fast link between Parliament Hill and the river terminal during weekday peak hours.
- Route 6 which will offer fine-grained local coverage of Old Québec every 30 minutes every day, thereby replacing route 11, which will now end its route at the Place-D'Youville terminus.

Over the next few years, numerous construction sites for the tramway's construction will take place on major traffic corridors in the city, right in the heart of our bus network. Since this spring, more than 65 bus routes have been modified over the past few months to continue offering reliable service and maintain coverage of the areas affected by the work.
