Chief William Commanda Bridge (former Prince of Wales Bridge)

For those questioning the airport link, I'd like to point out that Vacnouver has a rapid transit line to their airport. Just because TO and MTL are behind, doesn't mean the rest of us should wait on them.

And the fact that Ottawa's airport-downtown distance is shorter than TO and MTL's (and the fact that we have a line by-passing it by half a kilometer) is more reason to get it built.

I would oppose any surface airport-downtown line. People coming into the city with a shit load of baggage should be able to wait on an enclosed, climate controlled platform at the MCA, jump on the train, get off at a downtown subway station and walk directly into their hotel (or through the indoor pedestrian passages (PdV, Rideau) to their hotel) without ever going outside.

I agree that the feds should not pay cabs for their employee's heading to transit friendly destinations. That is a simple way to follow through with austerity measures; here's a bus ticket, now buzz off!
