The O-Train turns six years old today.

Friends of the O-Train is marking the anniversary of the start of light rail operations in Ottawa with a birthday cake this morning at the Carleton Transitway Station.

Since the O-Train started rolling on October 15, 2001, more than seven million riders have boarded the light rail network.

The group is calling on the City of Ottawa to extend the O-Train north from the Bayview Station across the Prince of Wales railway bridge to Gatineau and south to Leitrim Road.
