Grab the STO Passe-Partout card for smooth hops between Gatineau buses and the Rapibus BRT system. One tap. No fumbling. Valid on every run.
STO route 15 or 17 slides across the Ottawa River and drops you downtown Ottawa with the same STO card. your pocket. Easy.
Download the STO app to buy mobile tickets and watch real-time bus locations on the Rapibus corridor. Saves time.
At Terrasses de la Chaudière station, step off the STO bus and onto OC Transpo routes entering Ottawa. Done.
Common Scams to Avoid
Unlicensed drivers at the departures curb claim to offer "flat-rate" rides to downtown Ottawa but quote inflated fares and may not use the meter. Insist on the official taxi queue or pre-book through the airport's licensed provider.
Some private shuttles parked near the baggage-claim exit advertise "shared ride for the price of public transit," then collect multiple passengers and charge each the full shuttle fare. Verify the operator's airport permit and confirm the total cost before boarding.
Currency-exchange kiosks just past security display "no-fee" signs but embed a wide markup in the rate, for U.S. dollars. Compare the offered rate against the mid-market rate on your phone and consider using an ATM inside the terminal instead.
