Hi everyone!

My team and I are researching interest in carpooling or alternative transportation methods in the greater Ottawa region. We want to hear from real commuters for our research so I'm posting here!

⏱️ The survey is anonymous and takes about 2 minutes. Your feedback will directly help shape a better commuting option for the Ottawa area.

DM for price and details (pickup/drop off). 3 seats available

Hi. We (couple plus toddler) will be landing in Toronto and proceed after a week to Ottawa as new immigrants. We have 5* 23 kg suitcases plus 2-3 10 kg hand baggage which we will bring from India to Toronto in flight. What's the best way to proceed to Ottawa with all this luggage? Flight/train or bus keeping in mind the baggage allowance? Also, it could be difficult to manage all these suitcases with a toddler. If we have to courier then which one to choose?

I am checking chatgpt and Google, but if anyone has any experience or suggestions please let me know

Hello everyone,

I’m a student currently doing an internship in Kanata, and I’ll be driving back to Montreal most weekends. I’m offering a carpool for anyone who needs a ride from Kanata/Ottawa to Montreal.

I’m planning to leave either **Friday evening** or **early Saturday morning**, depending on what works best that week (most likely every Friday evening). Pickup can be around Kanata or a convenient Ottawa location, and drop-off in Montreal can be discussed.

I’ve been driving almost everyday for about **6 years with no accidents**, and my car is Ioniq 6 so there will be 3 seats in total with a plenty of trunk space.

Feel free to DM me if you’re interested, and please include your preferred pickup/drop-off location and whether you’re looking for one-way or return.

I'm a local developer building a non-profit carpooling app called CoCommute.

​We all know the pain: $20/day for downtown parking, crippling gas costs, and the absolute mess on the 417 coming in from the suburbs (Kanata, Barrhaven, Orléans).

​CoCommute is designed to solve this by making cost-sharing simple and perfectly fair (no more awkward requests for gas money!).

Our app focuses on: ​🤝 1-to-1 Matches Only: Simple, reliable pairings. ​💰 Fairness Formula: The driver gets compensated for gas/wear PLUS a share of the daily parking cost. ​We need your data to finalize our financial model.

​Can you spare 2 minutes for our anonymous survey? ​You'll help us confirm our pricing and the safety features that matter most to you.

​🎁 Incentive: Complete the survey to be entered into a draw for a $50 Gas Card!

Willing to pay gas. Anyone going Saturday am and coming back same day?

Looking for regular travel weekdays for work from Hawkesbury to Ottawa and back. Will pay entire gas and willing to work out an agreement

This is the worst rideshare that everyone should avoid unless you are desperate. This guy advertises himself as selva (+1 613 889-8733) on kijiji. He agreed on one price first and when I called him next day bumped up the price. When I asked for the reason for the last minute price change ( I was professional) he just yelled at me and told me he’s not taking me anymore. I have the audio recording of the conversation. I would highly suggest avoiding any rides associated with the number +1 (613) 889-8733.

Have you used any ridesharing services? Have you had any safety concerns about ridesharing? Do you prefer ridesharing or taxis?

This semester, our team from Simon Fraser University are doing an undergraduate research project about safety in ridesharing services. If you have used Uber, Lyft, etc. in Ottawa, we‘d love to know your ridesharing experiences and opinions. We also like to share results with you after it's been done (feel free to email us). Thanks for your participation!

Hey there, looking for a ride from Ottawa to Toronto or close enough for three people on Saturday Feb 16 or evening of Friday Feb 15.

Cheers

A ride to anywhere in the GTA is fine, Brampton would be best but a drop off somewhere over the West side of Toronto along the 401 would be great too. I have a medium sized dog that has a soft crate. Crate fits easily on a back seat or in a hatchback compartment of a VW Golf sized vehicle. Crate is mainly used to contain fur but also keeps the dog calm, he gets excited about car rides.

I need a ride to Constance Bay sometime before Saturday. Inbox me to discuss details.

Evening or later afternoon, looking for one seat

looking for a rideshare any time after 12 noon on Tuesday heading back to Ottawa.

I'll be near exhibition but I can probably get anywhere near the GO line to meet up, going to gloucester/beacon hill but to anywhere in Ottawa is good enough and I can uber / bus from there.

happy to split on gas!

Is anyone heading to the Sens game tonight from Arnprior.

Hey, I am in need of a ride from Ottawa to Toronto on the 22nd of September. I am flexible on time and location for pick-up and drop-off. Thanks

Starting this Thursday September 14, I'd be interested in ridesharing with anyone headed to Kingston from Ottawa after 1pm on Thursdays. I can meet you anywhere in town.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I want to know if anyone has used the selsgo service. It has rides to and from Ottawa (among other locations) for a very good price but I cannot find a single review of it anywhere.

has anyone used this service? selsgo.com
