Not surprised, they have to drive to even be able to get to work most of the time reliably. They might as well drive everywhere else.

Passenger argument, drunk driving, possible assualt because of being English... STO needs to step up their game because I find alot of driver are too aggressive and are especially annoyed if you can't say "Comment puis-je arriver à Buckingham?" In their native tongue... Hopefully witnesses come forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCIBUS Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 That's uncalled for. No one should assault someone regardless if the individual has disability or not or can't speak the langue. Although what happen to this individual was bad & wrong, what was worst(not saying the assault wasn't)that the STO driver was intoxicated and was driving. Lucky the driver didn't smash into someone injuring them or even worst killing them. This drive should be fired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaGoose Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Firing is not something you just do because of one wrongdoing. It’s a workplace culture that needs to change straight down from management. It starts on from all different levels: - focusing on a customer centric / safety based hiring process - training and education of acceptable behaviours in the workplace - superintendents and supervisors tone, etc Firing the driver only pleases the public, it does very little to prevent the next incident, and also brings a workplace culture of fear and unhappiness.

ikarus Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 STO is leaving people behind... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/sto-overcrowded-bus-transit-western-quebec-outaouais-ottawa-1.4929556 The number of overcrowded buses has risen 70% compared to last year. The 200 was the most overcrowded (Shocker) 24, 59, 100, and 400 also "busy." The stop bypassed the most was in Ottawa "close to Parliament Hill near Wellington and Bank Streets." I'm assuming Wellington/bank stop. STO explains that its ridership is up 15% since January. STO will try to maximize its resources during rush hour and optimize its articulated buses. From 2020-2024, STO plans to purchase 153 new buses, some will replace older buses. Well, at least their ridership isn't decreasing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed in Dec. 2017 when the 200 starts running to replace route 400 during peak periods, they'd send 4 articulated buses, of which only 2 of them are empty almost all of its run because they're sending all of them on the same route at the same time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the person stepped out IN FRONT of the bus ??? I agree that she did indeed contribute to her own misfortune. I do hope she learned a valuable lesson but perhaps not. People like her feel they can do no wrong. After reading this I will just be shaking my head at this all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
