Ottawa loves to commute by transit and the capital has one of the highest rates of cycling in Canada.
That's the story about commute times in the 2016 Census, released Wednesday by Statistics Canada.
In Canada, the number of commuters using public transit spiked by almost 60 per cent.
Among Canada's biggest cities, Ottawa-Gatineau had the highest proportion of workers using public transit at just over 18 per cent of the population.
That bodes well for Ottawa's new Light Rail train service that will take passengers along a route from Tunney's Pasture to Blair Road including a downtown tunnel in 2018.
The census also shows Ottawa residents walk or cycle to work at a rate above the national average.
