Transport from Ottawa airport to University area?

Question

What options for transportation from Ottawa international airport (YOW) to the University of Ottawa area?

Interested in daytime hours but also middle-of-the-night options (2 AM).

Other than renting a car, what are the options specifically? (Bus, train, light rail, etc.)

FYI, there is a new light rail line from airport to university, but is not yet operational, in testing, behind schedule from its 2018 planned launch. — Basil Bourque, May 14 at 16:21

The bus runs all day and night according to OC Transpo's own planner (contradicting what Rome2Rio seems to suggest above).

Tip: Every bus that arrives at the airport is inexplicably labeled “Out Of Service”. Get onboard anyways. Otherwise they simply drive away without a word. The 97 is the only route at the airport, so you cannot go wrong. Costs $3.50, but they’ll accept a five dollar bill (without giving change). – Basil Bourque May 14 at 16:19

There's an all day (and night) bus (97) service with, as far as I can see a stop at uOttawa (Nicholas st. and Laurier st.)

There are also taxi service at the airport. and there's also Uber.
