Ottawa - getting around, Canada

Displayed:   times.

The city's public transit is run by OC Transpo (http://www.octranspo.com/) and includes the bus service as well as the O-Train light rail system. Standard bus fare is $2.60 CAD cash or 2 tickets. Tickets cost $0.90 CAD each and are available from local stores in sheets of 10. Children 6-11 require only one ticket. Upon boarding you will be given a transfer which allows you to ride any number of buses or trains until its expiry (in roughly 2 hours). A day pass can be purchased on any bus for $6 and is good for both buses and the train. On Sundays, two people can share a day pass.

Parking at most attractions is convenient, though on-street parking in downtown areas is sometimes at a premium. If you are driving to downtown on the weekend, parking is free in the garage at the World Exchange Plaza. There are entrances to the garage on both Metcalfe Street and Laurier Street.

Most major car rental companies have several offices in Ottawa with all of them represented downtown and at the airport.
