Ottawa Transportation Tips by yooperprof

Take the Train Travel by Rail Review

The train station for Ottawa is located a little ways from the center of town - it used to be right on the Rideau Canal across from Elgin Street. But it is very reachable by public transportation - particularly by fast busses that zoom out speeding on special lanes.

I took the train from Ottawa to Montreal. The trip took about 2 hours each way, and my Return ticket was around $85.

Royal Alexandra Provincial Bridge (1900)

The Royal Alexandra Provincial Bridge links Ottawa with Gatineau. The steel truss cantilever bridge was constructed by the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1898-1900. Although the last train crossed the bridge in 1966, it is still used by thousands of vehicles and pedestrians every day.

A wide section of the bridge is reserved for bicycles and walkers.
