Students from the Secondary School La Camaradière began collaborating with the City of Québec and the RTC to create literary works to share with bus passengers. This project started in 2025 and continues to this day, with students creating texts and receiving help with visuals from students in the Arts et TIC program.

Mrs. Stéphanie Gignac-Lord, a French teacher at La Camaradière, is the one who came up with the idea to collaborate with the RTC to motivate people to write and share their texts with the world. With the help of many other school staff, mainly French teachers and close friends of hers, they were able to start this project and publish many literary works available on their page, Des mots qui transportent.

The goal of this project is to restore the desire to read on public transport, as it was in the old days. Back then, reading was a way to kill time and find entertainment, all while learning.

Before the bus, public transit was initially horse-drawn in 1863 and was made electric in 1897.  The public transport company we know today as RTC was founded in 1969 as the Commission de transport de la Communauté urbaine de Québec (CTCUQ). In the following years, it attempted to improve public transit in Quebec City with dedicated bus lanes on some arterial roads (1975), express routes (1977), and the creation of the Parc-O-Bus (1980).

In 1992, the organization underwent a major reorganization, and a recovery plan was implemented. The CTCUQ then became the Societé de Transport de la Communauté Urbaine de Québec (STCUQ) in 1994. Later on, in 2002, the municipal reorganizations of Quebec influenced the organization, which briefly became Société de transport de Québec, then ended up as Réseau de transport de la Capitale (RTC).
