Big Question:

Why the heck are there POP stickers on the glass barrier of the rear doors if it's forbidden to enter the rear doors on the Novas?

Maybe because if you are one of those people who gets on through the back doors, you'd better have POP!

Can't people read signs? It clearly states on Nova's Orion VII's & Invero's NO REAR BOARDING.

Only the artics & DD buses that have a sign that  states you can board the rear doors if you have a Presto card.

Yes, Rear Doors is what I meant, Sorry for my mistake and thanks for pointing that out.

Guys, I hope this simplifies this... And yes, no front boarding either ;)

Not sure if mentioned before , However I noticed on the Transit app that the Sto Red Black (Lansdowne) shuttles are numbered in the 8xx

That is because the shuttles have an internal number in the HASTUS system for easy reference and that's what gets posted in the GTFS feed.
Most shuttles are numbered in the 800s, here are some examples:

-The Gatineau 2017 Mosaïcultures bus was route 813

-The Canada day shuttles are 870 and 873

-The Lansdowne shuttles are numbered 804 (Rapibus), 805 (Robert-Guertin) and 859 (Rivermead)

OC Transpo have posted the Fall service change on their website:

https://www.octranspo.com/en/plan-your-trip/service-changes/

-There aren’t any significant changes, since the LRT service changes will be rolling out not long after anyways.

Also, the Blair overpass reopened completely today.

It did not re-open today.

Anyone know if the fall user guide for STO has begun to circulate?

Not sure if the full schedule is out, but they did release all the changes that were going to happen, i'll try to look for it and edit once i do.

I was thinking that I should’ve put “Accoding to the OC Transpo website...” since I didn’t hear anything on here before I posted it. 

It says August 9th now. There are alerts for stop relocations at Lees, St-Laurent and Parliament A also that are effective August 9th.

Service changes posted. Seems very bland for a city optimistic that Line 1 will open by the time the change comes into effect... https://web.archive.org/web/20190813011116/https://www.octranspo.com/en/plan-your-trip/service-changes/

The City expects the Confederation Line to open mid-September, not September 1st.

But I read an article that they might miss their deadline again, is this true?

It's quite possible. We'll find out on Friday.

Either way, I don't expect the handover/opening to be delayed much more than maybe a week or two from here on out.
