Ottawa and Gatineau

What Otranspo can show

Coverage is different for each operator and each kind of data. A scheduled route does not prove that a live vehicle, prediction, alert, amenity, or historical observation exists.

Capability and source contracts last checked 2026-08-21. Live feed outages are shown on the Status and Alerts pages.

Language coverage and community review

What the labels mean

Available
The named source supports this use and was validated on the date shown.
Partial
Useful evidence exists, but it excludes a mode, place, field, period, or share of service.
Scheduled only
Only the timetable is available. It is not a live observation or prediction.
Delayed
The source exists, but its latest validation or publication is older than the expected operating window.
Not available
No source currently supports this claim. Otranspo does not substitute or estimate it.

Regional capability matrix

Each capability has a separate state for each operator. The state uses the latest stored source check. It never turns a missing source into a zero.

What the official station data includes

These counts describe rows in each active official archive. A zero or omitted file is a source-data fact, not proof that an entrance, pathway, level, or transfer does not exist in the real network.

Comparison boundaries

  • Ottawa wards and Gatineau districts use different municipal definitions. Their inventories are not ranked against each other.
  • A route that crosses the river remains attributed to its operator. Service area on a map is not proof of civic or amenity coverage.
  • Dates and service-day calculations use America/Toronto. Overnight trips can continue after midnight on the prior service day.

Check the sources

Each operator keeps its own help, data terms, service dates, civic geography, and correction path.
