Upon introduction, this route replaced all service to the Montreal Street Park and Ride (local buses now loop within Rideau Heights) and also resulted in a restructuring of service around the Rideau Heights community.
Routes 801 and 802 are planned to be extended west to St. Lawrence College in the near future.
