* Centretown - near downtown, lots of choices and wide transit options, crime rate could be an issue

Bus routes directly to Confederation:

4 - serves Carleton University and Bronson Avenue, but requires walking to some buildings

87 - serves Hunt Club community (expensive), Mooney's Bay (mixed) then onto the Transitway to downtown

111 - serves Parkwood Hills and Hog's Back

118 - serves Baseline Road - best choice there is near Algonquin College

140 - alternate route in Mooney's Bay during rush hour (not very reliable)

Crime in Centretown?! Crime in Ottawa?! Cmon. You'll find most of the crime on the transitway in the suburbs lol.

Sandy Hill is your best option!
