    Getting psyched! Ottawa is proving to be a little limited with transportation from Quebec, looks like we might be flying in vs taking the train.

    Might be interested in the bus as well, awesome idea!

    I haven't booked my transportation from Quebec City to Ottawa yet. Was gonna go ViaRail the day after the Pearl Jam show.

    It's a long commute any way you look at it. We decided to fly via Porter. Faster but more $$, and gives us a little more time in Quebec City.

    The train isn't bad. Leave QC around noon get to Ottawa before eight and that's with the layover in Montreal that's long enough to grab dinner. Can't be beat for like 60 bucks. Just note that via rail assigns seats so if you want to sit with people you either have to book everyone together or call Via and get them to change it. Which they are happy to do.

    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    For my good Pearl Jam pals coming from out of town and staying around the Byward Market...if you need a parking spot, you might want to ask your hotel what they provide because they closed down one of the larger parking garages for repairs until early May. I'm not sure what early May consists of so maybe it will be done in time for the concert!

    That's what I'm thinking about doing. There's one @ 5:35AM that goes straight to Ottawa. A little too early on my vacation break. The other times are stopovers in Montreal.

    We fly from Quebec City to Ottawa, less than $100 with Air Canada. Saves a lot of time. Who knew flying was relatively cheap when you don't live on an island in the middle of the atlantic?

    We are also staying downtown Ottawa, I hear busses run from the Rideau Centre to the CTC regularly, so that's probably our plan.

    The #92 bus from downtown Ottawa to the Canadian Tire Centre runs every 30 minutes, on Sundays. It's a 50 minute drive on the bus though. By car it's 20-26 minutes.

    Cabs are easy to find, though you're looking at ~$50+ one way for a cab from downtown Ottawa to the arena (assuming no traffic).

    My friend is still looking at renting a bus from his bar in downtown Ottawa. Probably leave downtown to get there for around 6:30-7:00.

    I'm going to see him this weekend, so I should have more info.
