Quebec City's sights and hotels are packed into a small area, so walking is the best way to get around. Motorcycles are banned from Vieux-Quebec. For sights further out, like the Musee du Quebec, STCUQ
local buses
are efficient and run from around 6am to 1am (certain routes run until 3am Fri & Sat). Fares are a standard $1.75 per journey by prepaid ticket, available at newsstands, grocery stores and supermarkets across town, as are one-day passes ($4.70); the cash fare per journey is $2.25, exact fare only. If you need more than one bus to complete your journey, pick up a transfer (
une correspondance
) from the driver, which enables you to take the second bus for no extra charge. The main bus stop in Vieux-Quebec is on the west side at Place d'Youville, near Porte St-Jean. The main transfer points for STCUQ buses are here and at Place Jacques-Cartier, reachable by buses #3, #5, #7, #8 and #30. Even if it means a longer walk, the frequency of the STCUQ's Metrobus services (#800, etc) makes them the best option. Other useful information
