Route numbers
Every route has its own unique number. This is its main identifier. You’ll find this number on the signs at your stop, in your trip plan results and on the front of the vehicle. We choose these numbers to give information about where and when a route runs.
O-Train lines are numbered 1 to 4
Line 1 runs east–west from Blair Station to Tunney’s Pasture, through downtown. It is being extended east to Trim and west to Algonquin.
Line 2 runs north–south connecting Limebank Station with Bayview downtown
Future Line 3 will connect Trim in the east with Moodie in the West
Line 4 links South Keys on Line 2 to the Ottawa International Airport (YOW)
Numbers are organized geographically
The last two digits of a route number give information about its service area:
