Prepare for your Ottawa visit with transport maps, scheduled route planning and practical city tools. PLAN YOUR CONNECTIONS Choose an origin and destination and select O-Train, bus or rail. Review the suggested itinerary and its connections before travelling. The planner uses downloaded published timetables and can plan offline after the timetable data is available on your device. Scheduled times are not live predictions. Walking transfers within 350 meters are approximate. Check operator notices, accessibility and current service before leaving. VIA Rail journeys require separate tickets; inclusion in the planner does not make a trip part of an OC Transpo fare. EXPLORE THE NETWORK See the O-Train network on the city map and open station information to explore nearby connections. Online map tiles require an internet connection. MAKE MORE OF YOUR VISIT Browse shopping ideas around CF Rideau Centre and ByWard Market, explore the local food guide and read practical information about prices, banking and cash. Check the weather forecast before walking between stops or exploring the city. Prices and currency conversions are guide values. Confirm current fares, business hours and account requirements with the relevant operator, business or bank. Banking guidance does not guarantee account eligibility. Online weather requires an internet connection.
