Major routes

The Transitway is one of the most extensive and successful implementations of bus rapid transit; many of the Transitway roads are above or below the grade of normal streets in Ottawa, by the use of overpasses, bridges, and trench highways. Thus, they rarely intersect directly with the regular traffic, and make it possible for the buses (and emergency vehicles) to continue at full speed even during rush hour. Buses that travel on the Transitway can cross very long distances (especially outside the downtown area) without stopping for a single traffic light. Most sections of the Transitway have a speed limit of 70-90 km/h (45-55 mph) between stations, and 50 km/h (30 mph) in the station areas. There is a large number of public transport systems in European towns that fulfill several of the BRT criteria given above, but they are rarely designated as BRT. Bus lanes and exclusive use of key city-centre streets is commonplace, and bus priority on approach to traffic lights is quite...

Many bus routes use parts of the Transitway, but there are three primary, high-frequency routes:

• OC Transpo Route 95 - Barrhaven Centre/Fallowfield to Orleans/Trim
• OC Transpo Route 96 - Kanata/Stittsville to Hurdman
• OC Transpo Route 97 - Bayshore to South Keys/Airport

Future or proposed new routes

There are plans to extend Route 118 to Orleans. The new route would be considered a rapid-transit route, which would see this route renumbered to route 108.

A coalition group had launched a site (see external links section below) about a proposed new route from Barrhaven to Kanata via Bayshore and Baseline stations. Barrhaven is a suburban area located in the southwest corner of the city of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, about 20 km (12 miles) southwest of downtown Ottawa. ... Kanata was a suburb of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada until it was amalgamated with Ottawa and the surrounding cities in 2001 to become the new city of Ottawa. ...

Former 2009 Transit Service Plan

In June 2006, the City of Ottawa released a 2009 service plan, for the O-Train route, the Transitway and new bus routes (see City of Ottawa website). Since the 2006 election that took place months later, this plan has been cancelled.

It shows new extensions. To the west, there are new Moodie, Bells Corners, Queensway-Carleton, Hazeldean and Kanata North Transitway stops. To the south, there is a new Nepean Sportsplex stop, and proposed stops for Strandherd and Marketplace. To the east, the Southeastern transitway is extended to Hawthorne, and the Eastern to Blackburn Hamlet and beyond. To the north, there is a planned stop at the Les Terrasses Complex. It also investigates the possibility of transitway buses along Baseline, another downtown location, and from further east on the Queensway from Kirkwood all the way to Eagleson.

New Routes 93, 94, 98, 101, 102, and 108 are included.

Central transitway traffic issue

In the downtown section of the central Transitway, the busway consists of a single bus-only lane on Albert and Slater Streets (one-way public streets in opposite east and west directions). Traffic congestion here, where the buses mingle with private vehicles, sometimes causes service delays and is seen by some as the main weakness in the Transitway system. The Transit Committee had planned to reduce the number of buses travelling on Albert and Slater streets by 30% if the extension of the light-rail was implemented. Other measures may be implemented to avoid traffic problems despite the cancellation of the O-Train extension downtown. The Central Transitway is the downtown section of Ottawa, Ontario, Canadas transitway. ...

Type of buses

OC Transpo articulated bus

The Transitway routes generally use low floor "accessible" buses, with an aim to improve access to the service by the elderly and handicapped, and to speed up boarding by other passengers; most of these are high-capacity articulated buses. Route 96 has used the new Invero low-floor buses since September 2005 and route 101 (formerly known as route 99) since the start of spring 2006.

Extension projects

There have been plans to expand the transitway to reach other parts of Ottawa; currently it only runs along the North edge of the city for most of the central area, leaving large parts of the city with only a system of local buses.

Some future extensions would included :

• From Bayshore Station to the Southwest Transitway north of Queensway Station The city has announced plans to start the construction of a two-lane 1.8 km stretch from Bayshore Station to Pinecrest and would included a new Dumaurier Station
• From Eagleson Station to Hazeldean Road west of Terry Fox Drive
• From Fallowfield Station to the centre of Barrhaven at the corner of Greenbank and Strandherd Roads. There have been plans to extend further to the south to other new developments in south Nepean/Barrhaven. It would include a link with the future O-Train extension to Barrhaven.
• From Hurdman Station to Innes Road at Blair Road with a small connector route to Blair Station
• From Place d'Orleans Station to Trim Station
• A temporary roadway linking the Innes/Blair area to South Orleans - then potentially reverting to a future East-West light-rail route. However, the cancellation of the expansion project of the north-south line may forced the city to keep it as a busway.

O-Train

Main article: Ottawa O-Train

Since 2001, Ottawa has operated a light rail transit system called the O-Train as a pilot for the full rollout of light rail transit technology. The pilot has been deemed a success, exceeding its ridership targets significantly; it carries 10,000 passengers per weekday. The pilot route utilizes former Canadian Pacific Railway track running south from the Ottawa River a distance of 8 km to the South Keys shopping plaza, slightly to the west of the downtown core. The system is used extensively by Carleton University students who have long complained about poor bus service relative to University of Ottawa students (who have two bus stations on the central transitway). The O-Train was introduced in 2001 as a pilot project for light-rail service in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, which had long depended exclusively on busways for its high-grade transit service (see Ottawa Rapid Transit). ... This article is about light rail systems in general. ... An eastbound CPR freight at Stoney Creek Bridge in Rogers Pass. ... This is about the river in Canada. ... This article is about the university in Ottawa, Ontario. ... For the university in Ottawa, Kansas, see Ottawa University. ...

The current line was to be replaced, and then extended south-west (but later cancelled by City Council). It would have contained two parallel tracks, and be electrified. Full operation would have begun in 2009-2010 with a total length of 27 km.

The route of the extension was chosen to service areas of future city growth (although some feel that it would have been better to focus on current problem areas). As a part of the extension, the service would have also be routed directly into the downtown core at the north end. The trains would have run on the downtown streets currently devoted to the rapid transit corridor, in dedicated lanes. There would have been a reduction in the number of buses passing through the downtown core to accommodate the train lanes. (See animation of downtown traffic flow.)

A formal environmental assessment was underway to examine providing a second line for east-west service. Although the idea was to improve Ottawa's capacity problems for east-west transportation, critics of the process (including light rail supporters) believed the preferred route would have not address these problems successfully.

Rapid transit stations

Transitway

South-west (95)

Future extensions will move the western terminus (initially only for some weekday trips) further into Barrhaven, to a new station, named "Marketplace", south of the the corner of Greenbank Road and Strandherd Drive. Another station north of the intersection will be called "Strandherd" which will include a park and ride facility. Initially, buses will travel west on Fallowfield Road then south on Greenbank. [1]

• Barrhaven Centre (Opened: Jan. 2 2007)This is the new end of the 95 route. Located in the shopping core of Barrhaven, the majority of the routes in Barrhaven now pass this busy and ever expanding shopping arena. This was originally intended to be the future end of the City's O-Train route.
• Strandherd Station (Opened: Jan. 2 2007) One of the newest additions to the Transitway network in Ottawa, this station has the 95 running every 12-15 every rush hour, and every 30 minutes until 23:00.

West (96, 97)

• Stittsville - Western terminus of some route 96 trips. Park and Ride facility located in Stittsville.
• Terry Fox - Located adjacent the Kanata Centrum shopping centre at Kanata Avenue and Earl Grey Drive (near 417 and Terry Fox Drive. Most eastbound 96 trips begin here. Entered service in September 2004 with construction still having been underway at that time; it officially opened on February 22, 2005. Previously, a small terminal at Kanata Town Centre, on Katimavik Road, was used.

To this point the route is on non-dedicated street lanes along collector and arterial roads, much like a standard bus route. Regular stops are made between Stittsville and Eagleson. However, in the long range, there are possible plans to built a Transitway segment between the two stations.

• Eagleson - Park and Ride located at Eagleson Rd. and Highway 417.

The Transitway proper starts past Eagleson, with a dedicated lane on the 417. One stop is made (on request only via a special signal) at the Moodie Drive interchange.

• Bayshore - Located at the Bayshore Shopping Centre. Main Western terminus of Route 97 and Route 101.

The Transitway leaves the 417 at Bayshore and takes Richmond and Carling streets to Lincoln Fields. Eastbound 96 returns to the 417 (now the Queensway) to go via Queensway station, with one stop at the Pinecrest Road interchange. By the end of this year a new extension of the West Transitway will be built using the northern edge of the 417 and will go towards Pinecrest Road with one new station : Dumaurier Station. There is no date on when the section between Pinecrest and the Southwest Transitway will be built.[3]
