Tour the tulips on the OC Transpo Tulip Shuttle 
sponsored by 24 hours/24 heures

Ottawa – Residents and tourists can relax and see the tulips aboard the Tulip Shuttle, sponsored by 24 hours/vingt-quatre heures, on the first three weekends of May. Children 11 and under ride free and adults pay just $2.50 to ride the shuttle all day. 

The Tulip shuttle will run along the scenic canal route between Dows Lake and downtown Ottawa. The shuttle will operate every 15 minutes between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. during the Tulip Festival weekends:  May 5 and 6, May 12 and 13, and May 19, 20 and 21. 

For $2.50 (cash only), customers can get a Tulip Shuttle Ticket and ride the shuttle all day. Passes, transfers, bus tickets, O-Train tickets and Smart Cards will not be valid on the Tulip Shuttle, and the Tulip Shuttle Ticket will not be accepted on regular OC Transpo service. 

Free parking and hundreds of spaces will be available at six OC Transpo Park & Ride lots with frequent Transitway service to downtown where transfers can be made to the shuttle. Festival-goers can also park at Greenboro Station and ride in comfort aboard the O-Train to Carling Station, then take a short walk to the tulips and the Tulip Shuttle at Dow’s Lake.
