Google Transit now available for Ottawa & OC Transpo

OC Transpo bus routes and trip planning is now available on Google Transit , as part of their powerful Google Maps tool.

We’ve been using Mapquest and Google Maps for years to find driving directions – it’s great to be able to access bus routes at the same time. Ottawa’s one of four Canadian cities so far on Google Transit, joining Vancouver, Fredericton and Montreal.

It’s a very clean interface and easy to use. Just for fun, we asked for the best bus route from 22 Sussex Drive to 1000 Palladium Drive . If the PM was going to Scotiabank Place tonight, he could hop on the #3 at 9:39pm, transfer to the 118 at Hurdman, then take a 26-minute walk from Terry Fox/Katimavik to the arena. Total travel time: 1 hour, 43 minutes.
