New ways to bus are coming to Ottawa!
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.
Increase in missed bus trips
In recent days, customers may have noticed an increase in missed bus trips. This is due to fewer buses being available than usual.
