Info
OC Transpo (Ottawa-Carleton Transportation Commission) is the urban transit service of the City of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The system carries approximately 97.1 million annual riders (340,000 daily trips). An integrated hub-and-spoke system of services is available consisting of:
the O-Train, a light rail transit (LRT)/light metrosystem consisting of the north-south Trillium Line and the future east-west Confederation Line;
the Transitway, a bus rapid transit (BRT) system of mostly grade-separated dedicated bus lanes within their own right-of-way and having full stations with Park & Ride facilities further supported by on-road reserved bus lanes and priority traffic signal controls;
regular buses travelling on fixed routes in mixed traffic, typical of most urban transit systems;
Para Transpo, a door-to-door bus service for the disabled.In December 2012, Ottawa City Council approved a major infrastructure project to build a 12.5 km east-west LRT line, the Confederation Line through the downtown to replace the existing BRT by 2019.OC Transpo routes also provide service to the downtown core of the nearby city of Gatineau, Quebec, especially during rush hour. Rush-hour service is also provided to a park and ride lot in the Township of Russell.
