All aboard! Follow CBC Ottawa for all things LRT
CBC Ottawa is capturing the stories across the city as commuters take to the rails
All aboard, commuters! The LRT arrives on Sept. 14 and CBC Ottawa will be there with you as you ride to and from work (and across town) for the first time.
Follow our special coverage live on Facebook and our website for the very first day on the rail. Our programming continues Monday, Sept. 16, starting at 5:30 a.m. on Ottawa Morning with Robyn Bresnahan. In the afternoon, tune in to All In A Day with Alan Neal and CBC Ottawa News at 6 with Adrian Harewood and Lucy van Oldenbarneveld for further stories about the city's first Monday with the LRT.
