Service
editRoute 97 is the only bus that currently services this stop. It is the southern terminus for this route. From Airport station, Route 97 continues northward and terminates at Hurdman station on the O-Train Confederation Line. In late 2024, Route 97 service to/from this station will be replaced by Line 4 train service to/from South Keys station. R4 service will replace the bus route if Line 4 is delayed or out of service during regular hours. This station along with Uplands station will receive new bus connections from Local Route 197 after the completion of Stage 2 LRT.[3]
At Hurdman, trains travel west to downtown Ottawa and east to Tremblay station (adjacent to Via Rail Ottawa station) before ending at the Blair station terminus.[4]
The following routes are planned to service the Airport after New Ways to Bus is implemented in late 2024:
Stop | Routes |
---|---|

A Local, Rail Replacement | 197 R4 |
