Expansion/Upgrade ideas for the Ottawa-Gatineau region based on existing rapid transit proposals and systems (Light Metro, Tramways, and BRTs). Some BRT (OC Transitway) stations are removed. The idea behind it is that other areas should be easily and be better accessed by local (grey)/frequent (blue)/commuter (pink) bus lines (WHICH ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS MAP).
With the existing systems in place, the network on the Ottawa side primarily relies on the existing idea of the O-Train with a light rail system running on 100% separated right of ways for frequent/rapid service for cheap. While on the Gatineau side, being more restricted in road space, could run a true tramway system similar to that of the TTC Lines 5 (Eglinton Crosstown LRT) and 6 (Finch West LRT), connecting people to busy/important POIs or local bus lines that can get them to their final destination.
The idea of this design is to connect people to major business/social centres and major bus terminals by rapid transit (further than the existing system does), then to quieter/scluded neighbourhoods/centres by local bus lines.
With such a design, people will be incentivized to move further from the city centre to encourage and accelerate suburban (transit-oriented) development, without sacrificing the hassle of commuting long drives into/around/across the city.
