This Friday Spacing Ottawa will be traveling to the banks of the Mississippi River in Carleton Place to test out a new commuter bus line that was launched earlier this week.
Unlike most commuter bus services in the Ottawa valley, Lanark Community Transit is offering a return service that will allow passengers to go “against the flow” and actually travel to an outlying town in the morning and return later in the afternoon. Other commuter lines typically disgorge their passenger load in downtown Ottawa in the a.m. and park the bus until the afternoon drive home.
We’ll meet with some of the community members behind the new initiative, and take the opportunity to explore CP’s historic downtown and enjoy its riverbank views. We’ll be posting our impressions along with some photos in next week’s Spacing Ottawa blog.
If you have any questions you’d like us to ask LCT about the new service, or Carleton Place more generally, please comment under this post or tweet us at @spacingottawa.

Great! My wife and I will be taking advantage of this.
