O-Train

The O-Train is a light-rail transit (LRT) system in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, to consist of two lines operated by OC Transpo.

The O-Train brand

The system was first named and branded by Acart Communications, an Ottawa advertising agency working for OC Transpo. The original name "O-Train" was based on the classic Duke Ellington signature tune "Take the 'A' Train", which refers to a New York City Subway service. Because Ottawa is effectively a bilingual city, the name had to work in both English and French. In French, it is pronounced similarly to 'au train,' ('to the train'). It survived an internal OC Transpo naming competition and was adopted soon after.

Due to the construction of a second light rail line, the Confederation Line, the O-Train brand was extended to both rail transit services and the original service was renamed as the Trillium Line.

Lines
