CRT Page

One of OC Transpo’s rural transit partners, Clarence-Rockland Transpo was established by the City of Clarence-Rockland, population 21,000, to provide commuter bus between downtown Ottawa and Gatineau to communities east of Ottawa such as Bourget, Cheney and Rockland using the Transitway and Highways 174 and 417. Though the service only operates during weekday peak periods, CRT bus passes can be used on OC Transpo buses at any time. CRT contracts the actual bus service to a number of charter operators, including Lalonde and Leduc bus lines.
