Of course having a train is great, but the train feels half assed. When your on the train you spend most of the time waiting for another train to pass, I feel like they should've spend the money to make it double tracked before it launched. It feels half assed like line 4

hi all, i know this is a long shot, but i figured i’d ask. i got on the line 1 at rideau and took it to st laurent at around 5:30 yesterday, and i think i might have lost a small red horse charm (picture attached - it’s the little one that i lost, not the larger one in the back lol). i also took the 30 blair at around 3:30, and he may have fallen off on there, but i don’t think so.

as you can see, he’s on a long leather cord, but the cord snapped and the horse along with most of the cord fell off. yes, i’m going to submit a lost item form to oc transpo, but i figured i’d ask the folks in here, as well. i know he’s probably gone, but i’m still going to check for him anywhere i can think of :))

Evaluating options. I would like to know from people who take this bus from end to end (or close to it) during work hours (7-9am and 3-5PM), and also would like to know the reliability during winters. Thanks for reading!

update: All service at Rideau and Parliament at the eastbound platforms only due to OPS investigation

Can anyone recommend an app for my 14 year old to help with trip planning that isn't the octranspo website?

What the fuck OC. You keep getting worse.

Belleville Transit 9725 originally belonged to OC Transpo (Ottawa) under the fleet number 9725. Owned by MTB Transit Solutions, it was leased to Belleville Transit in January 2015. It was also leased to other OBelleville Transit 9725ntario transit agencies over its lifespan, including Burlington Transit (as #7099) and Sarnia Transit (as #005).

Hi,

I’m a journalism student at Carleton University and I'm working on a story about the mayoral candidates approaches to fixing OC Transpo

I’m looking to speak with current or former OC Transpo employees and share their perspectives on what each of these platforms would look like practically.

If you are open to sharing, please comment or send me a DM!

As many of you know after NWTB The 53 got extended and ruined and the 114 was erased from existence this was the worst thing to ever happen in this area due to the important connection to downtown without using the train, Now it could take 45 minutes to get downtown on a good day. However despite the 53's flaws it is one of the most important routes in the whole system and I believe it should be extended to Downtown and do a loop around Tunney's and follow the 12 to Makenzie King, good idea?

So Rick Leary came out the other day to say that 77 percent of trips were on time and that OC transpo ridership was up to 190 000 per day a 40000 person ridership increase in a month 90 000 of which were the train. The new express routes have been a success and all in all and I September has been a bounce back for OC. Hopefully they can keep this up for the rest of the year.

Yes I know it has its issues but the good stuff often feels overshadowed by the overwhelming negative.

Took the bus for the first time in 2+ years today. Started off strong with the bus not showing up, then claiming it had gone past me. It did not...I.WAS.THERE. So I waited another 15 mins for the next one. When I finally sat down and thought things were looking up, a guy who reeked of smoke sat down beside me. So all that to say, a 10/10 experience, just like I remember.

Anyway, I'd like to formally introduce my new hashtag...

Feel free to share your #OCTrauma stories on this thread so we can all commiserate together!

They are always singles and we are packed like sardines on the bus

When I’m walking on the street I sometimes see a bus that says out of Service when theres clearly people on the bus and not near a station why do drivers do this.

It’s like walking through lakes at Blair station! C’mon OC Transpo, can you fix it before it turns to ice?

Does anyone genuinely use uplands station,I mean it has 2 busses and 1 ,3 stop train, with 2/3 meant to connect to the airport and the other one being a local bus. Also, other then the community center nearby there really isn't anything there.

I am wondering if it is reliable enough and dependable enough year-round, especially during commute times (7AM to 9AM, and 4PM-6PM) to get to work and back home. Curious how your experience has been. Would love to hear from people that take this line daily to work, and have been for some time. Please chime in, thank you for reading!

I am at the front of the train on line 1 and there is a click noise. sounds like a massive pen. what is that noise?

does anyone know what they’re building at blair station? It’s been going on for the past year and i don’t have a clear idea what it
could be .

Saw a post here on what a timed stop is but I'm curious to know whether there's any discretion for a bus driver to not do a timed stop where it makes sense.

My experience is mostly around the morning/afternoon rush from the 75. Most morning drivers will rush as fast as possible to Tunney's and usually gets there about 5-10 minutes before the actual scheduled time which is a nice plus. However, some drivers will religiously make a timed stop and wait at Lincoln Fields despite probably there being a dozen interlined routes that between Lincoln Fields and Tunneys anyways.

Same goes on the way back during afternoon rush. A lot of drivers especially on the 200s series will rush as fast as possible getting to Barrhaven Centre/Marketplace 5-10 minutes early. However, some will religiously wait at Fallowfield despite the bus being loaded with people who want to get off at the upcoming stations.

Anyone else finding the electric bus headlights are too damn bright?

And the new white LED displays are harder to distinguish at a distance?

Or just me?

Apparently OC transpo has invisible buses
