Which O-Train is BEST? We Compare All 3 Ottawa Trains in a Faceoff

Ottawa’s O-Train system features three distinct train models: the Alstom Citadis Spirit, the Stadler FLIRT, and the Alstom Coradia LINT. But which one comes out on top? In this fun and casual video, I compare all three trains across six categories: • Train size and presence • Power and traction • Acceleration and feel • Interior comfort • Doors and passenger flow • Bell sound (yes, bell sound!) From ride quality to door placement, discover which O-Train delivers the best overall experience for transit riders in Ottawa. At the end, we tally the points and reveal which train model wins the O-Train Showdown! If you’re a train fan, transit enthusiast, or curious about Ottawa’s light rail, this video is for you!
