Transit

TravelWisdom
The O-Train is the very first light rail line powered by diesel in North America.
Taking public transit in Ottawa is affordable and easy. Taking the bus or train to work can help you reduce daily stress and avoid rush-hour traffic, while using OC Transpo at night or on weekends is a great way to save money on gas and parking.

Tickets are far less expensive than cash fare (about 35 per cent less) and can be purchased at over 400 locations throughout the city. A whole family can ride all day Sundays and holidays on one-day passes for even more savings.

When you take the bus or train instead of your car, you're helping to improve your neighbourhood - fewer cars on the road mean less pollution, noise and congestion in your front yard.

Best of all, OC Transpo offers fast and convenient service. The Transitway provides rapid transit to most destinations, or a quick transfer to local routes. New low-floor buses allow easy boarding and have air conditioning for hot summer months. Buses on some routes even have racks mounted on the front to let you bring your bike with you.
