Description
Français : Un omnibus de la Quebec Street Railway vers 1890
L’omnibus
« En avril 1848, près de 20 ans avant l’introduction du tramway hippomobile à Québec (1865), Michel Gauvin lançait le premier service de diligences entre Québec et Sainte-Foy. La course de cet omnibus débutait à l’Hôtel St. George de Willis Russell, situé à la place d’Armes (emplacement de l’actuel bureau de tourisme); au passage, il faisait un arrêt à l’Hôtel Albion de la côte du Palais, puis il filait jusqu’à Sainte-Foy, par la rue Saint-Jean et le chemin Sainte-Foy, probablement jusqu’à l’église Notre-Dame de Foy. Il offrait quatre voyages aller et retour quotidiennement: à 7h, 10h, 11h et 17h. Michel Gauvin avait débuté en affaires à titre de caléchier, puis de maître-voiturier. En 1829, il se lançait dans le transport interurbain entre Québec et Montréal. On ne sait pas si son entreprise de transport à Québec a fonctionné longtemps. En juillet 1883, la St. John Street Railway lançait un service semblable au sien. Néanmoins, on peut considérer Michel Gauvin comme le pionnier du transport en commun dans la capitale. » – Société historique de Québec
