Ecolobus - Quebec City

[miketoronto]

Does anyone know how the ECOLOBUS in Quebec City is doing?

Has it helped in reducing the number of cars entering Old Quebec?
What is the ridership like?

If anyone has any information that would be great as I want to use it as an example for something. But stats are hard to come by.

I'm not sure but I guess they must be boing great because they decided to keep them running. I know they had complaintes from taxi drivers because they are free! So now they will be charging 1$ for a Ecobus ride and it seems everyone is happy...

it's actually only a fancy and greener way of doing public transport in Old Quebec... although it didn't really lower car traffic, big ass buses aren't getting through Old Quebec anymore (well, except for 2 or 3 lines i think) - a good thing since streets in this area are particularly thin... it's noisefree, polutionfree, and circulates easily... moreover those are kinda cool and great for the new green image Quebec wants to get...
