With the O-Train Extension project on the horizon, Ottawa is taking proactive measures and gearing up to accommodate its projected population growth of 1.14 million people by 2031. The O-Train Extension Project will add an impressive 44 kilometres of rail and 24 new stations, bringing rail transit within 5 kilometres of 77% of residents. An impressive feat that's sure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 155,000 tonnes over 25 years and make daily commutes a breeze.
We have retired our OC Transpo app for iOS and partnered with Transit to provide Ottawa users with free access to the Royale subscription.
You will be able to access the subscription's additional features immediately, as long as you have the latest version of the app.
OC Transpo is committed to delivering the best possible service to customers. The bus route review was launched in January 2023 as part of OC Transpo’s five-year roadmap. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been significant changes to how often and how many customers use transit.
