Taxi vs Public Transit in Quebec City: Which to Choose?
When to take a taxi in Quebec City
A Vayo taxi is best for airport transfers, medical appointments, late nights after 11 PM, winter travel when sidewalks are icy, and trips with children or reduced mobility passengers.
When to use public transit
RTC is economical: a monthly pass costs about $95 CAD. The Métrobus lines 800/801 connect Sainte-Foy to Old Quebec in about 25 minutes off-peak. For Université Laval students, transit is included in tuition.
💡 Vayo Tip
Vayo tip: Combine bus for routine trips and taxi for important ones (airport, medical, evenings).
