All of these delays with the LRT are part of the teething process for any new system.

But during the testing period did they not simulate these types of situations? 

And keeping customers in the loop about delays should be a no brainier, but even the TTC has issues with that. 

I can never understand why letting people know about delays is so difficult.

Date effective: January 27, 2020

OC Transpo will run weekday S1 supplemental bus service on Monday, January 27 during peak periods due to fewer trains being available on O-Train Line 1.  To supplement these buses, targeted and temporary reductions on higher-frequency routes across the system are being made to minimize the impact on customers.   The list of cancelled trips is provided below.

Be careful out there guys. Lots of delays because of the snow. My driver on Route 85 decided to drive into the snowbank, causing the trailer to become stuck so I had to take the 57 instead.

Are you saying the driver made a deliberate decision to drive into a snowbank?

Thats quite an accusation considering there are many drivers on the board.

I'm not saying he did it deliberately per say, but he definitely failed to exercise the basic common sense that I've seen every other OC driver do after snow storms, which is don't pull over all the way to the side where there are snowbank and no, he didn't lose control otherwise I would have felt it as I was sitting at the very back.

You are still making unfounded accusations against the driver in saying he lacked basic common sense.

All this is only your opinion and you are passing it off as fact.

Man, the arctic's should be grounded. All of mine got stuck, some even Jack knifed!

Oh yes, plan accordingly. Also code 50 was issued for Lincoln Fields Mall, All Buses particularly Route 11 will bypass the mall completely.

Oh be wary about video recording. Some tow truck drivers really have an issue and some will pretend to be transit law for 10 seconds or get easily agitated (though can you really blame them since they're literally stuck in an area towing arctic's out all morning?)

That routing for 46 Billings doesn't seem right?

 

Shouldn't it be Right Rockingham, left Bank, To regular route?

Seems as if they dont want buses turning left onto Bank from a street that is solely controlled by a stop sign, whereas Bank St is completely freeflowing

There's also a median running all the way down Bank Street in that area (not that it would give a bus any problems, but traffic-wise).

This is correct. There's a raised median there, so Rockingham is right in-right out only.

There are several construction projects affecting OC Transpo service in the next few days:

Quoted Text Below:

Eastbound Transitway Closure at Blair Station: From Wednesday, April 1, to Friday, April 3, Routes 28, 30, 32, 34, 35, 38 and 39 eastbound will be detoured daily from 9 am to 3 pm due to the closure of the Transitway, near Blair Station. Instead of taking the Transitway, buses will use Blair Rd. and the regular-traffic eastbound ramp onto the 174. All stops will be served. Please allow a few extra minutes for your travel.

Highway 174 Westbound Bus Lane Closure from Trim to Tenth Line: From 11 pm on Saturday, April 4 to 9 am on Sunday, April 5, Routes 38 and 39 westbound will be detoured due to HWY 174 bus lane closures at Highway 174 Westbound, from Trim Rd. to Tenth Line Rd. All stops will be served. Please allow a few extra minutes for your travel.

 

 

Algonquin College Navaho / North Access Roadway Closure: Navaho Drive will be closed due to construction from 7:00 AM on April 1st until April 3rd at 5:00 PM. This closure will affect Route 88 and stops #0704, #0705, #0706 and #0707. Temporary stops are set up for service on Navaho.

 

Affected stops

Bus stops affected Alternate service
#0704 -- Navaho / Algonquin College Residence Temporary stop -- Navaho / Service

RIDEAU STREET CLOSURE STARTING SUNDAY, APRIL 19TH

As the detour description was too long to copy out here, all of the full and detailed detour information and maps are available here, along with full routing descriptions for each of the detoured routes: https://www.octranspo.com/en/alerts/#alerts-28971

Interestingly, the routing descriptions provided include the routing outside of downtown for many of the routes. Probably due to how busy OC Transpo is with the current situation, it was simpler to copy and paste the full revised routing descriptions onto the site than have someone re-type just the downtown specific routing for each route.
