I don't get it? ?

Is it that it looks like the plane is going to crash into the airport? 

The wrong destination sign?

Bus 4001 is an Orion VI. OC Transpo Photoshopped the bottom half of an Orion VI onto a 1997/98 Orion V.

The Orion V was 9866.  Thanks to @MCIBUS for the scan!

There is a “phantom trip” on the route 97 at night from Rideau centre at 2:38am to airport for 3:07am that does not show up on any apps or even OC Transpo’s website

I remember a few months back someone mentioned there’s an hour gap on the N97 from 2:08 to 3:10, well it’s not the case apparently. Perhaps it’ll be updated on the next schedule change to reflect 100% 24hr service on the 97

Interesting considering that I just checked the trip planner and the schedule after September 5th and the 2:38 AM N97 from Rideau towards Airport doesn't show up. The only hourly route is N45 General Hospital where as the other 5 run every half-hour during that time until their final departure of the service day.

N39 Rideau also has an hour gap between 2:22 AM from Trim being the final departure on the weekday schedule. Resuming at 3:23 AM from Place D'Orleans. Not sure if the hourly gap is planned there or simply an oversight which the final departure would most likely be 2:52 AM from Place D'Orleans I am assuming. The rest of the time period operating every half hour roughly. 

I remember back prior to October 6, 2019 with the Route 95, the final trip of the service day would not track or be detected on apps. Even though the printed schedule at stations would indicate the trip which was 3:12 AM as the final departure and not 2:46 AM. That issue was fixed eventually indicating the missing departure.

A 176 map at a bus stop served only by the 158: 200 Colonnade Rd - Google Maps (May 2009)

I think it's the other way around. If I recall correctly, some trips on the 176 at the time serviced Colonnade Road, so The map is accurate, but the stop flag is missing the limited service (crosshatched) route 176 sticker.

The 2007 route map shows route 176 serving Colonnade Road on "Selected Trips Only", but older maps show early morning service on Colonnade and these weren't numbered on the bus stop flags.  The missing early morning sun emblem, however, could be considered a mistake. B)

Silly me, you're right. 176 served Colonnade via Early Morning only. Service started as part of the Early morning service revamp of June 1992, which basically destroyed all but a handful of 800 series early morning routes. 176 (80 today) actually still serves Colonnade in the early morning despite no signage or routing on maps. My guess is that when the 107 was cancelled in 2008, they forgot to add a stripped 176 on the flag (and an early morning sun)

I'd like to say so, but since 2008, they really started to stop using that as a "selling point". Many leaf flags that were replaced didn't get the sun added to them, despite having a route that provided Early Morning Service (Route 7 leaf flags were an example of that practice). As a side note, the last flag with a sun on it was retired by August 2015 :P

COVID Jab navigation errors:

They forgot Route 110 which operates as frequently as the 168 during clinic hours, but is much faster given the ridership for the 110 is still not good in comparison to the 168 from what I've seen. A weekend 110 would certainly be faster than a 168.

Connexion routes do not, nor have they ever served, Nepean Sportsplex Northbound. The original express routes were removed, presumably in April 2011, to speed up Barrhaven Express Routes to downtown.
