Also, @M.Wright told me that the lack of A/C made the buses very hot and humid in the summer, like a tropical swamp.

Two TBT posts from OC Transpo's Twitter account:

The map has been updated to reflect the upcoming changes in Barrhaven, adding route 275 and changing route 278, along with any route changes since September.

Yup:

Ah, I see the error now, in the zoomable version only. The pdf map appears to be fine.

Nope, not happening on my copy: I'm using Firefox Quantum and Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. What are you using?

There's a new version of OC Transpo's future system map available on their Ready4Rail website: http://www.octranspo.com/ready4rail/system_map_zoom full_map.pdf

Yup, the sign would have said "61 ELMVALE ACRES", as shown on the rollsign of bus 5931:

Not quite. Route 62 was created in 1974 from the Alta Vista branch of route 61, but the two coexisted for years as separate routes. Route 62 became route 8 in 1984, then route 44 in 2017. Route 61 was created in 1959 as an amalgamation of the Alta Vista, Carling and Coronation routes. The Elmvale branch, which continued to operate as route 61, became a peak-period route in 1984 and was renumbered as route 45 later the same year. It became route 84 in 1989 and was cancelled in 1990. Route 60 was created in 1974 as a limited peak-period route to supplement route 62. It became route 47 in 1984 and route 82 in 1986. Route 82 was cancelled and replaced by route 41 in 2011, which became route 291 in 2017. As for "route 23", that was the Riverview Park route which began operating sometime between 1951 and 1954. Ottawa bus routes did not have numbers until 1959, so the route "number" simply told the map user which route to look up on the back of the map.
