Queensway station is located around and under the Queensway along the Southwest Transitway in Ottawa, Canada. The upper platforms provide access to the crosstown route 101, and 103, while the lower platforms are for transitway routes such as routes 91, 94 and route 95 and eastbound trips of routes 61, 62, 63, 64

Despite its seemingly isolated location, the station serves nearby residential areas through the bikepath, which is to the west of the transit station. In the future, service from Kanata, Stittsville and Bayshore Station may not use this stop when the western O-Train Confederation Line is completed, but that is 2 - 6 years away.

The following routes serve Queensway Station:
Rapid Routes: 91 94 95
Local Routes: 50 82 84 96 101 103
Shoppers' Routes: 305
Event Routes: 402 406 454

Built: 1983

2012 - 2013?: The upper level on both of Queensway Station's platforms had their external roofs (covering the bus sign) removed, not much is known as to why, but it's reasonable to assume it's due to the fact in 2012, OC Transpo purchased 75 new Alexander Dennis double decker buses which are slightly wider and significantly taller than the New Flyer 60ft articulated buses, hence the removal of the roofs to accommodate the larger/taller double decker would sound like a reasonable explanation.
