Comparing old Ottawa (roughly 400k people over 110 sqkm) to old Toronto (664.5k people over 97 sqkm). So that's 3636 people per sqkm in Ottawa vs 6850 people per sqkm in Toronto.
We could play around with Ottawa's numbers by removing parts that are less dense in exchange for Vanier and/or Hull, but numbers won't change drastically.
O-Train today is 35.5km over 25 stations while Toronto had 37 km and 43 stations. The TTC subway though served more dense areas while Ottawa's O-Train has goes through a whole lot of farm fields and parking lots.
