OC Transpo is the organisation that operates and plans public transport in the city of Ottawa. OC Transpo's system includes bus rapid transit, light rail, conventional bus routes, and door-to-door paratransit.
OC Transpo was established in 1948 as the Ottawa Transportation Commission, and currently operates two urban rail lines, 11 bus rapid transit (BRT) lines, and 170 regular bus routes. Ottawa is served with 18 urban rail stations, 43 BRT stations, and two intercity railway stations. Urban rail in Ottawa is called the O-Train, and the BRT is called the Transitway.
The network is designed as a hub and spoke system, where local bus routes feed Transitway lines, which themselves feed into O-Train lines.[3][4]
Some OC Transpo routes also serve Gatineau in Quebec during peak periods.
In 2023, the system had a ridership of 110,596,700.
