Carleton station is a great station serving Line 2 that provides easy access to Carleton students from all over Ottawa. It is the only Line 2 station (so far) with two platforms, always with a train frequency of every 12 minutes. The location of this station serves particularly well for students living at Envie student housing, which is right beside Carling station and one stop away from Carleton. It also provides quick access to downtown (such as the Rideau Centre) for students on campus, as they can take the train to Bayview and transfer to Line 1. HOWEVER, Line 2 will be closing down in May 2nd, 2020 for construction to expand the line. The replacement service will be the R2 bus serving the same stations as Line 2. We’ll see Carleton station again in 2.5 years, with new connections to Ottawa!

This spot is an absolute nightmare to deal with. The platform is cramped, overcrowded, and poorly maintained, leading to constant delays and cancellations. The ticket machines are often out of order, and the staff seem more interested in socializing than assisting passengers. It's an incredibly frustrating and stressful experience, and I would strongly advise exploring other transportation options if possible.

O-train comes right to campus, always bustling campus but it has a quiet feeling to it. Gorgeous campus because it's sprawling and right on the river. I loved being a student here. They have good campus bars too - Mike's is cozy and has good food and good beer. I always had a good experience with profs as well. I feel very lucky to have gone to Carleton and have such a great university in my home city.

Carleton O Train is very convenient for students as it directly links the school to a grocery store among other things. The Walmart supercenter has many stores which fit every need. The train is consistently on time and always clean. Only issue may come around 9 and 6 which I have found to be peak times used by students. Can get a little crowded but usually has enough seating

Bus drivers disregard patrons outside, despite freezing weather conditions, waiting for them to stop, instead making sharp, dangerous turns with more often than not NO TURN SIGNALS. there are laws on the road, being a bus driver allows you to get in the bus lane THAT'S IT. ROAD SAFETY MATTERS

Right in the middle of Campus, o-train is the route many students who live off campus take to get to/get back from Carleton. You can expect student crowds early morning/afternoon because of this reason.

C’est quand que cette station va ouvrir, j’ai besoin de prendre le train le plus rapidement possible, là j’suis coincé avec un bus ‍♂️ …

Something is wrong with the traffic plane in this university or they can't drive... the bus takes 30 minutes to get in and out of here.

I like how fast th3 stays of the train becomes available, with text updates it's much easier to plan my route home and to work!!!

They get packed in the morning and peak hours. During the summer and non-peak hours, it isn't packed. Incidents are very rare.

Construction is moving along very quickly, new structure is already accessible on the side heading to Greenboro

Very social, well worth if you get accepted

Under construction. It used to be better.

beautiful
