Quebec City is also higher than I thought it would be.

You thought Quebec City would be lower than 14.5%?
I find that this is a very low number for a city this size. But unfortunately, outside of the Haute-ville, Limoilou, St-Sauveur and St-Roch, the city is a sprawling mess... It's hard to optimize and promote public transit in a city with so many highways and so few dense areas. They have some reserved bus lanes, but they are not in "site propre" (exclusive? as in Ottawa's transitway), so buses often get stuck in traffic whenever there is construction or someone decides to park on the bus lane. Mayor Labeaume does have some ambitions for a "
structuring transit project", but these plans are still quite vague and mysterious. More to come I guess...
