The O-Train is a light rail system in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, operated by OC Transpo. The system consists of three lines: the electrically-operated Confederation Line (Line 1), running east to west; and the diesel-operated Trillium Line (Line 2), running north to south, as well as the Airport Link (Line 4). Line 1 is currently being extended as part of the Stage 2 project, with new segments being phased in between 2025 and 2027.

The O-Train network is fully grade separated and accessible, featuring low-floor trains that allow for easy boarding.[2] It includes a 2.5 km tunnel in the downtown core, while the remainder of the network operates on surface-level or elevated tracks.

Line 1 is being extended in both directions, with the eastward extension to Trim station in Orleans scheduled to open first in 2025. By 2027, the westward expansion of Line 1 to Algonquin station and the construction of Line 3 stations to Moodie station in the west end are expected to be completed. These expansions will bring the system's total length to 64.5 km (40.1 mi), with four lines and 41 stations.[3]
