The Rapibus is similar to the OC Transpo's version of the Ottawa transitway. As with the Transitway, it is reserved for high occupancy articulated buses and other STO vehicles including Para-Transit service, inspectors and emergency vehicles. The busway currently begins in the east-end of the city in the vicinity of Labrosse and Saint-René Boulevards and follows the Quebec Gatineau Railway track (alongside boulevards Maloney and de la Carrière) towards downtown Hull. A bridge over the Gatineau River was expanded to accommodate the rapid transit lane as well as bike trails alongside near Lake Leamy.
