Take the Sno-Bus to Winterlude activities

Ottawa – OC Transpo will once again offer the popular Sno-Bus service the best way to travel between Winterlude sites. The Sno-Bus will operate on all three Winterlude weekends:  February 2-3, 9-10 and 16-17.

The OC Transpo Sno-Bus travels from Confederation Square downtown and serves all the sites along the Rideau Canal to Dow’s Lake. For service to Jacques-Cartier Park, customers can transfer downtown to the STO Sno‑Bus in front of the National Arts Centre.

Winterlude enthusiasts can park for free at Greenboro Park & Ride lot and take the O-Train to Carling Station where they can enjoy the activities at Dow’s Lake or connect with the Sno-Bus. Parking is free at all OC Transpo Park & Ride lots during Winterlude weekends.

The Sno-Bus is free for children 11 and under. Customers 12 and older pay $2.50 cash only and can ride the Sno-Bus all day with their Sno-Bus ticket. Passes, transfers, bus tickets, O-Train tickets and STO Smart Cards will not be accepted on the Sno-Bus. Customers can transfer between the OC Transpo and STO Sno-Bus services with their Sno-Bus ticket, which is only valid on the Sno-Bus.
