Ottawa
Light Rail

The 8 km 5 station diesel powered O-Train, opened October 15, 2001. There are now plans for several extensions, including a spur to the airport. The most concrete plan is a 30 km North-South line which should open in 2009. The line will be in three stages. The first stage will extend from Bayview OC Transpo station to Leitrim Road, the second from Leitrim to South Nepean, and the third from the Rideau Centre or Elgin Street to Bayview.

The last Ottawa streetcar ran in 1959.
