...activity, because the buses have their own motorway system called Transitways until they get to downtown where they mingle with the rest of the traffic, none of which by UK standards seems particularly dense.

THINGS TO DO IN OTTAWA
The Museum of Civilisation, which is in fact in neighbouring Hull has an amazing collection of native American artefacts (totem poles et al) and tells the story of the colonisation of Canada from marauding Vikings to the present day through a series of full scale mock-ups of fishing villages, ships interiors, old railway stations etc. In the same building is the Post Office Museum.
