This just in from the City of Ottawa:
Ottawa – Interprovincial transit travellers can now find their way with just a couple of clicks on their computer or mobile device. OC Transpo and Gatineau’s public transit authority, the Société de transport de l’Outaouais (STO), have merged their transit planning databases.
The amalgamation of the OC Transpo Travel Planner with the brand new STO Plani-Bus database will help riders find the route that best meets their needs, saving them time and hassle. The joint, online planner is a new bridge aimed at connecting both cities by making transit commutes from one transit system to the other easier than ever.
This new initiative is the latest example of the collaborative approach OC Transpo and STO are taking to make public transit more relevant than ever to residents of Canada’s Capital region.
The OC Transpo route planner is available at octranspo.com. It currently handles some 10,000 route requests per day.
Users can also call 613-741-4390 for information they need to plan their route or for any other OC Transpo service.

If only there was a rail bridge with existing tracks lines linking both cities….
