Next stop: a hipster’s paradise

The two lines of Ottawa’s LRT network connect in only one location: Bayview Station. This transit intersection connects Ottawa South, Ottawa Centre and Ottawa East like never before. And luckily for anyone riding the rails, this connection point is just steps away from the neighbourhood of Hintonburg, the trendiest, funkiest, most creative community in Ottawa.

You’re very close to hundreds of shops and 80 restaurants of the thriving, exciting Wellington West business district – including the neighbourhoods of Hintonburg and Wellington Village.
