O-Train Construction Detours and Mitigation Measures

I'll add that its deceptive. Eastbound has its 2 full lanes, westbound however QUICKLY merges back to 1 lane until near Woodroffe. Might have changed recently but day one of the reopening I was surprised to see westbound still reduced to 1 lane. -

Misc. OC Transpo & STO Questions & Discussion
Loud-Invero replied to SMS's topic in National Capital Region
Oh that's wonderful, screw LRT funding for Quebec's 4th biggest city in the province that has only half the city connected to a rapid transit system... Legault is already done for come election time, but this is the biggest f-u to us I've seen from him directed right at the Outaouais in a long time. -

O-Train Line 1 | The Confederation Line
Loud-Invero replied to octranspobusfreak's topic in National Capital Region
Weird question. Does anyone know how fast Line 1 travels between Lyon and Parliament Station? Also, between Cyrville and Blair. I was thinking of taking my Bushnell to get readings, but thought I'd ask on here to save me a trip -
I'm still midly surprised despite the *Few* Ways to Bus changes, that they made the 105 serve St. Laurent/Tremblay at all time periods instead of only when Line 1 is not operating.

Incase anyone wanted to check out old route maps, I've uploaded approximately over 80 route maps for Routes between 1-19. I've also made a more in-depth examination/break down of Route 10 (Census DCP/Hull - LeBreton) which has been lacking in any useful information about the route. Note: The red and green routes numbered in the 1-19 zone are old OC express routes from the 70s, that have yet to have their pages created. Enjoy! https://cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php/Ottawa-Carleton_Regional_Transit_Commission_routes_1-19

I honestly miss those days... To be fair some of those destination signs back in the day were LONG. Like any east end AM express route to Lincoln Fields would sign "28 LINCOLN FIELDS via DOWNTOWN/CENTRE-VILLE -
57 is still running every 30 mins regardless, it's only the Bayshore/Tunney's trips being removed (every 2nd trip basically, so frequentcy is going from 15 mins to 30 mins). You still have the 11 to supplement as well and people can get off at Lincoln Fields or Carling if they so choose. Let's be clear, it's not good for Mark Sutcliffe's ego/campaign promises, not for the people who actually who use transit

Well, well, well... Go figure the Mayor/Transit Commission panders to their base (old people). To their credit, they did try to increase the senior pass by the same amount that families/school boards are now going have to pay extra for, but of course the tables are going to turn because those 17 and under can't vote, so they don't care, just "lalalalalala" in their head. I get Mark and most councillors were elected by mostly grumpy, self-centred, retired, property owners, but I feel like if they really wanted to be "efficient", they should have scrapped both fare class of passes and just change the Equi-Pass eligibility so Youth and Seniors who can't afford the full price, can still get the discounted passes instead just creating this obvious "Nahnanana! You're just a stupid kid; I raised the price of your bus pass and you can't vote me out because of it ". Really hoping that Mark is a one-term mayor -
I honestly wish the 58 was changed more to act like express Route 59, where it just stays on Carling the whole way. 2 routes on Carling, 2 routes on Richmond. Sounds like a fair balance to me!

Hmm... I feel like OC Transpo stopped being sorry around the September 2011 changes, though truthfully, I don't know exactly when OC Transpo stopped being sorry for being out of service. Or late, a no-show, bus breaks down, etc. () -

O-Train Opening as Seen by CTV CJOH: Another long series video on future transportation growth in Ottawa here. Section 2 is really interesting as it focuses on Nortel/JDSU with lots of b-roll clips of buses at the Carling Campus.
