Here’s how it’s going for actual transit riders vs live, laugh, photo mayor. Totally ready for return to work and school in the fall. #ottTransit

I can't wait to see social media posts from @mark-sutcliffe.bsky.social with pictures of downtown Ottawa and the caption,
Good evening Ottawa.
Bonne soirée Ottawa.

Woo hoo. Score!

My first bus has a broken tap machine. I transferred inside a paid fare zone to LRT and inside a second paid fare zone to my local bus.

#OttTransit is quite expensive except when it is free.

It amazes me every time I come to OPL on Tenth Line, Ray Friel Rec Centre, or this high school. It has many handicapped parking spots but no super close bus stops. What are we doing? #OttTransit

Bike share is a proven solution in cities across Canada and would help solve challenges in Ottawa too.

Overall I suspect the easiest approach would be something like "in honour of transit pain and our 200th anniversary, throughout 2026, the 26th of each month is no fare required day". #OttTransit

I'm at the @betterottawa.bsky.social Town Hall on "How We Get #Ottawa Moving". Congestion is strangling our city.

It will be available via Rogers22 YouTube in time. #OttTransit

Hmm. "We don't know how long Line 1 or Line 3 will take until we have trains running those curves."

It *seems* something that would be easy to model on a computer. #OttTransit

As I'm boarding a packed bus at Blair, the driver says: "this is a lot of people. Did they skip a bus or two?"

I don't know, buddy. But the posted schedule would put this run as either 20 minutes late or 10 minutes early. #OttTransit

A month ago, I had an issue with this route. OC Transpo fixed it. And then the schedule for my connecting bus was changed.

Chapter 2 of this #OttTransit saga in the comments of my original post.

Hoping for a resolution @helps.octranspo.com!
Hey @helps.octranspo.com, it seems there is something wrong with the scheduling of the 48 Carleton (dep 06:07).

Last Monday it was cancelled (only after sked departure), but it's never on time on Mondays. I always miss my connecting bus.

It's dark and cold, and options are infrequent at this hour.

It’s hard to not feel we’re in a transit death spiral.

This latest cut of 255 trips is the inevitable result of years of inadequate transit support, wrt both budget and policy.

We need significant action to reverse this trend. #OttTransit #OttCity #Ottawa

OC Transpo needs about 520 buses to meet its weekday service requirements, but was only able to get an average of 467 on the road last week.

@OC_Transpo’s solution to buses not showing up: maybe…heaters?

How about reliable service so we’re not standing still long enough to get hypothermia?!

Chronic mismanagement, real human costs. Riders deserve better.

As OC Transpo misses targets, Ottawa riders left waiting in the cold
Could heaters be the solution to freezing riders left waiting for buses, or is there another way?

Only freaking crime on transit that I've ever seen is the fares going up while the service remains as mediocre as a guy who peaked in high school and won't let anyone forget it #ottcity #otttransit
Bahaha. They can't even run buses on time and conmunicate accurate arrival times and there's been an app for that for years 🙃

I'm pretty sure no one is asking for this 🤷

There's an app for that: OC Transpo to provide real-time crime reporting - Capital Current
OC Transpo will introduce a new app next year for reporting crime on transit.

@octranspo.com: hmm our ridership numbers keep dropping, how do we fix that? Such a difficult problem
Also @octranspo.com: this should do the trick!

Why hasn't @helps.octranspo.com announced this? There are still significant delays on Line 1 (because, as this article explains, repairs won't happen until tonight), but OC Transpo's last message says the issue is "resolved with minor delays" #OttTransit @octranspo.com @occtranspo.bsky.social

The news that @helps.octranspo.com will soon start replacing the infamous Blair elevator 23 is very good news. The limited details on how an accessible route from the mall to LRT gates will be maintained are as sketchy as access to the current elevator is now. #OttTransit

Staff keep telling me to tap slower.

My personal experience is any slow or fast FIRST tap at a EACH reader with a credit card fails. The second works.

With my debit card, speed matters. Linger your tap

I don't think the payment query is as fast as boarding queues want us to move. #OttTransit
October 9, 2025 at 7:26 PM
So with those issues today, it was ironic to see @helps.octranspo.com message telling students to tap every time for an easy boarding. #OttTransit

What is your experience with O-Payment tapping? @otttransitriders.bsky.social
