I am in theory served by the Trillium Line since day one, but I am not Carleton student and I don't work west of downtown. It's usefulness for the southern inner suburbs is very limited given the poor frequency. All the inner suburbs have bus service directed to Hurdman station on the Confederation Line because transfers will not be dependable on the Trillium Line and because of capacity limitations. What happens when Phase 2 capacity is exceeded? The Trillium Line is not commuter rail given the station spacing, but much of it's original temporary design is being retained through Phase 2 meaning that it does not provide urban trunk line service either. The latest concern on the Ottawa board is that following the completion of Phase 2, transfers to the Confederation Line at Bayview station are going to be awkward.
