Unfortunately for me, change of plans at work means I’ll be working till 9PM... I’ll still be out and exploring for the rest of the night, and have my camera with me, though I wish I could see it earlier... Guess it will remove some of the traffic!

That is unfortunate. I'm sure you'll snap some great night shots like usual though. Open until 2am so you'll have plenty of time and less crowds.

Yes hopefully I’ll have the opportunity to take some interesting angles, and the next day it seems like I won’t be working.

I’ll bring the Nikon with me, and I guess have quite some more to add to the gallery around here! Hopefully I’ll run into more enthusiasts that are excited about the launch!

Unfortunately I won't be able to partake until 4 or 5 PM. No one could cover me at work.

I tried offering my closing shift, but for some reason nobody wanted it! ?

I’ll be bringing my Nikon, iPad and cellphone so I should be able to work my snapshots right on the spot depending how crowded it is. Been forever since I took out the Nikon, and I only have the 35mm prime, so we’ll see how it goes.

O-Train Fans will be live-streaming the #ConfederationLine opening day ceremony and ride this morning starting at 10am. Be sure to check our Twitter account to catch the stream when it begins.

We were AMAZED and pleasantly surprised by how nice Ottawa's LRT is. Calling it an LRT is doing it an injustice because it really does feel like a metro similar to Montreal's. Trains were running every 4 minutes most of the day without a hitch. 

Enjoy our video and consider sharing it!

As the Confederation Line is now open and RSA is behind us, this topic will now be closed. I encourage you to continue the discussion in the new topics related to the launch and observations, etc.

Thank you and enjoy the ride!
