Three Talents are used by the O-Train public transport pilot project in Ottawa.

The Talent is a multiple unit passenger train manufactured by Bombardier. It comes in a number of variants, including high-floor, low-floor, diesel-mechanical, diesel-hydraulic, diesel-electric, electric, and tilting, and in lengths of two, three, or four carriages. As with most multiple-unit trains, Talent units can run individually, or be coupled together to form longer trains.
