O-Train may soon refer to Ottawa’s entire inner-city rail network.
On Wednesday the transit commission endorsed using O-Train to refer to both the existing north-south line between Bayview and Greenboro stations, and the future east-west light-rail transit system, between Blair and Tunney’s Pasture.
The east-west line will still individually called the Confederation Line. The north-south line, which has been known as the O-Train since it opened in 2001, will be known as the Trillium Line. Together, they’ll be called the O-Train.
There will also be numbers and colours to brand the different lines, to help people navigate them. Confederation is expected to be known as Line 1 and use red as a colour, while Trillium will be Line 2 and use green, according to a presentation given to the commission.
“People adapt. They’ll use numbering or the colouring, whatever they feel comfortable with,” said transit general manager John Manconi.
“It’s important that we have (those names) so that we can use our technology tools to send out updates and information alerts and things like that. So it will be part of the system both physically, virtually, and also in the vocabulary people use when they use the system,” he said.
He said the costs of branding will be covered by the $2.1-billion light rail contract given to the Rideau Transit Group and existing OC Transpo marketing budgets.
The transit names still need approval from city council.
