If ever this is what they use it for it will be almost all cyclists that use it. Which is still a good thing of course.

As for LRT it opens up some interesting possibilities but not sure I'd call it ideal as it isn't really aligned with any of the major origin-destination patterns between Ottawa and Gatineau. They have a bit of a challenge in order to make that work.
That was what I meant. I knew it was something human powered.

It is aligned with the tracks for the Trillium line. On the Gatineau side, it does line up with the Rapidbus route.
