tomsbuspage Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I found the attached ad in yesterday's Ottawa Sun. It appears that CN Rail wants to divest itself of the freight line running from Nepean to Pembroke through the Pontiac region. This would be a great opportunity for a commuter rail group to pick up the line for future commuter use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.Wright Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 No...They're not allowed to until March 1, right? They'll probably sell you them if you ask. OC has no officials rules on selling tickets in advance as far as I know about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Wright Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I can't remember who said that there are no flights that come into the airport late at night (like right now) but who ever did is wrong. I have learned that late at night when no Scheduled flights are arriving, that is when the Chartered Flights arrive on most nights. Charters flights to places like the Caribbean, Dominion Republic, etc. In fact I went down to the Airport at 3 AM a few nights ago, and it was just about as busy as it was during the day. There were even 5 people waiting at the bus stop for a bus that wouldn't come. There was so many people on some of those flights that at a few moments, they didn't have enough Airport Taxis to get everyone home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a 97 from the airport at 1.59am and 2.29am, so maybe they were waiting for the 2.29am departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centralsmt Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Oh sorry, I ment to say 3 AM, man I must of been tired. There are only one or two through the night arrivals at the airport most nights , and many of these are before 2am, and no departures after the London UK flight just after 10pm, so there really is no justification to run an all night service to the airport. Tonight for example there is a flight due in just after 1 and thats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enviro_1203 Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I have just done a count. Including the Orion VII order in delivery, if the last one in the order is 5178, there will be 945 accessible buses at OC Transpo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including the Orion VII order in delivery, if the last one in the order is 5178, there will be 945 accessible buses at OC Transpo. With that count, assuming when all the Orion VII's are in they no ned for any High Floor Buses on Weekends or any spares they use on the Weekends.

In total, there are around 500 runs on Saturdays, accounting for 200-300 buses being at Merivale and Pinecrest that are LF, there is in my opinion, NO need for High Floors on weekends. There are less runs on Sundays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
