What's waiting for you:
Frequent. Local. Connected.
OC Transpo’s new bus network will focus on frequency, local service in your neighbourhood, and connections to O-Train Lines 1 and 2 and key destinations.
New Ways to Bus is about responding to changes in customers’ travel needs and ridership levels. It will significantly change OC Transpo’s bus network and is a big step towards meeting our service reliability target of 99.5 per cent.
This International Women’s Day, we honour the women powering OC Transpo—from operators and engineers to safety officers and planners.
In The Next Stop Blog, they share their experiences, challenges, and advice for future generations.
