Public Transit Network Tender

Scope The public transport project which includes a light-rail line two BRT lines and dedicated bus lanes has already received funding commitment of C1.8bn 1.1bn from the Government of Quebec while Quebec City has agreed to provide C300m 185.8m. Planned to be completed in 2026 the project will include a 23km light-rail line as well as two tram-bus BRT lines totalling 15km. This is an important step which will enable us to continue with the preparations for this major project for Quebec City. The project is expected to improve the existing Mtrobus lines and involves construction of another 16km line dedicated for bus lanes. Four new park-and-ride lots will also be added. Additionally the project includes four hubs to allow passengers to move from one system to another within the transit network as well as two new automated links to ease travel between Lower Town and Upper Town. This new infrastructure will enhance access to sustainable means of transport and make it easier for residents to travel so they spend less time in traffic and more time with their loved ones. More than ever we have great hopes for Quebec City and we are committed to building a greener future for all. To improve public transit services the Canadian Government through the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund has spent more than C737m 554m in 312 projects in Quebec province.
