List of RTC routes
This article is a list of all of the Réseau de transport de la Capitale's routes, along with a brief explanation on each type of route.
Note: all destination names are listed in their original French name, as given by the RTC's website.
Metrobus routes
Metrobus routes are the RTC's rapid transit service. They are the core of Quebec city's public transit system. They are designed to provide service to commercial areas, government buildings, and large population centres, and circulate on bus lanes throughout the majority of their route.
Routes 800 and 801 circulate on the same roads for approximately 40% of their route, from downtown Quebec all the way through the Marly terminus at Pointe-de-Sainte-Foy.

Regular routes
Regular routes (marketed as leBus by the RTC) are routes designed to provide service to population centres by circulating through residential areas and local boulevards. While the majority of them operate 7 days a week, a handful were created specifically for industrial workers and such, and are not operated during weekends.

Destinations in italics only receive service on weekdays during rush hours.
Sometimes, the RTC will truncate certain routes. Usually the truncated version of a route immediately precedes the departure of a regular version of the route (between 2 and 5 minutes before). Those departures are rarely announced in bus schedules.
Express routes
Express routes (marketed as eXpress by the RTC) are three families of route that link residential areas of the city to the work (series 200 & 500) or to school (300 series). The 200 & 500 series of route are only offering service during weekdays rush hour towards the city in the morning and towards the suburbs in the afternoon. While this logic also apply to the 300 series, they are roundtrips at lunch hour and an evening depature to the suburbs at 9:30pm on many of the routes. Route 332 is an exception to the rule as this route travels to suburbs in the morning and towards the city in the afternoon.
Generally, express route numerotation tends to follow the regular route numerotation (i.e. routes 277 and 377 loosely correspond regular route 77).
