Seattle Seahawks vs.
New England Patriots

The big game is on Sunday night and OC Owl is talon you not to wing it! Whether you'll leave the nest to kick it at a sports bar or flock together at a friend's house, look no feather. In one fell swoop, here's the bird's-eye view on how you can have a ball this Sunday.

Plan your trip and pay your fare
Draft picks

When it comes to trip planning or paying your fare, the sky's the limit!

Reach the cloud with free wi-fi at all O-Train Line 1 stations.
Get on-the-fly service updates with several real-time travel tools.
Soar ahead with the Travel Planner or Transit app, or book your trip with My Para Transpo.
Avoid fumbling with cash and pay your fare with O-Payment. Remember, you can't get a quarterback!
Huddle up at various free Park & Ride lots to swiftly connect to bus routes.
Don't 'birden' yourself when kids go free and two can ride with the 2-for-1 DayPass.

Other activities leading up to the game
The Calm before the score

Before you turnover to watch the big game, here's a sneak beak of some other things happening this day:

  • All day: Time flies when you're having fun at Winterlude activities downtown! The Sno-Bus will be wide open until 5:30 pm.
  • 11 am to 3 pm: Enjoy performances, artmaking, workshops, storytelling, and more for free at Fête Frissons.
  • 3 pm: Make it a complete sports day by attending the Ottawa 67s vs. Owen Sound Attack hockey game at TD Place at Lansdowne. Ticket-holders ride free for 3 hours before and after the game.

Did you know?

OC Owl used to play football as a young owlet, and their position was Wingback. As top flight on the team, OC Owl was im-peck-able when using a fly route!

Making sure you ride safely
Out of bounds

Don't fly by the seat of your punts! As our resident night owl and public safety ambassador for Transecure, OC Owl also wants you to travel safely:

  • After 7 pm, be a fan of Safe Stop. Ask the bus operator to touchdown at a location along the route closer to your end zone.
  • After 9 pm, perch at night stops. They are centrally located, in well-lit open areas, and close to emergency call boxes or payphones.
