OC Transpo Route 4

OC Transpo Route 4 is a crosstown bus route operated by OC Transpo in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, that runs between Hurdman Station and the Rideau Centre in downtown Ottawa. All trips also serve Carleton University. Just like route 2, the route is not recognized as a rapid transit route by OC Transpo.

Route

Route 4 begins its route at Hurdman Station and travels along the South-East Transitway until it reaches Billings Bridge Station. Making its way from Billings Bridge Station, it travels via Bronson Avenue (with a small detour to serve Carleton University) until buses reach Albert Street (westbound) and Slater Street (eastbound). Route 4 travels via Albert and Slater until reaching Bay Street (eastbound) or Lyon Street (westbound). Buses then use Queen Street, Elgin Street, and Rideau Street to reach the Rideau Centre.

Buses

Route 4 uses both Orion VII diesel-electric hybrid buses and New Flyer D40i Invero buses (both 40 foot models), with occasional trips served by New Flyer D60LFR 60 foot articulated buses.
