Hurdman Station is on Ottawa's transitway. Hurdman is one of the busier stations, perhaps the busiest, as it is the main hub of the transitway network east of downtown. Hurdman is where the main transitway route from downtown to west branches off in two directions: one to the east toward Orléans and the other toward South Ottawa. Express buses serving Kanata and Barrhaven have Hurdman Station as the downtown terminus. The station is located just southeast of Hurdman Bridge where the Queensway crosses the Rideau River. It is also located near the intersection of Industrial Avenue and Riverside Drive/Vanier Parkway.

There are connections from Hurdman Station to the nearby neighbourhood of Riverview to the east with a bus-only road connecting to Alta Vista Drive. There are also connections for bicycle users, as Hurdman Station is located very closely to the Rideau River bicycle path.

The station, as well as the nearby landmarks of Hurdman Park, Hurdman Street, and Hurdman Bridge are all named for the early settlers of the region. A small convenience store can be found within the station. Even though the station is busy, Hurdman is also one of the most isolated stations being almost completely surrounded by tall grassy meadows, with only a few, tall apartment buildings nearby (the 3 Riviera towers on Riverside Drive). To the immediate South are two large artificial hills, which cover a one-time industrial landfill.

Service
