It was nice to see BTO and our bus data mentioned at the Student Mayoral Debate yesterday
Transit is an election issue
We need to see candidates pushing for a more reliable transit system via transit priority, accurate scheduling, and a system with the resources it needs to make these big reforms

Last week, OC Transpo implemented huge service cuts on weekends
OC Transpo says that "A summer preventative maintenance program” is a reason
But, we’ve been tracking every bus in operation by OC Transpo for the past several months, and there is no significant decrease in buses used on the weekend

OC Transpo weekend service is about to be decimated starting this Sunday in the upcoming summer schedule.
Check out our new tool at bettertransitottawa.ca to see the extent of the cuts and if a trip you rely on will be affected.

Hey, councillor @timtierney.ca Reminder that democratic participation doesn't rely on which ward someone comes from. They bring genuine concerns.
@bettertransitottawa.ca has done something you haven't done: ask questions and identify what can be done to improve service. Not just slogans.

The City of Ottawa released a report regarding compensation for transit users.
One of the main ways they identified to make the service better in the short term was transit priority measures, one of the cheapest ones identified was continuous bus lanes!
This is cheap and easy, do it now!
