Trillium Line Upgrade/Extension, Stage 2 [Greenboro to Airport/Limebank] | In Service

Yup. A bus Transitway has the flexibility that rail can never have. Now, with the added transfers to and from the trains, maybe people will start to understand why a bus-based system was chosen over putting rail in Ottawa – way back when.

Of course, there were issues that grew from having so many buses, but there were solutions for those. The City was just too cheap to implement them. It was much easier for the City to simply follow the crowd and let other levels of government pay for most of it.

Rail lines absolutely have their places, but there are also places where buses are best.
