Hi Councillor Gower, Why is there little mention of the service cuts on weekends? It's not "some routes [operating] less frequently", it is pretty much every route having random trips cut throughout the day There will be 2 hour gaps throughout the day on many routes bsky.app/profile/bett...

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. (1/2)

The current plan calls for changes not to take effect for more than a year from now (Summer 2027) This is unacceptable when we are facing a severe bus shortage and bus reliability crisis. Any bus wasted sitting in traffic means a bus cancelled elsewhere in the network.

City staff has released the agenda for the PWIC March 30th meeting, where Bank Street Bus Lanes will be discussed (item 5.2). Please consider signing up to delegate in favour of expanding bus lanes further. On-street parking is extremely underused here and is standing in the way of real progress.

The number 6 bus is shown driving along Bank Street in front of a sign at the Mayfair Theatre. The sign reads 

"Mayfairtheatre.ca
Support bus lanes on bank st
Strongtownsottawa.ca"

Having sufficient buses to respond to problems with our train is essential. Instead, because of a newly discovered issue with our trains, we are stuck dealing with both a bus shortage and a train shortage at the same time with no ability to roll out supplemental buses.

E1 supplemental service can't be run during a bus shortage

MEMO: OC Transpo has identified a new issue on O-Train Line 1 involving cartridge bearing assemblies (CBAs), where “spalling” (metal flaking inside bearings) has been detected on some trains. As a result, trains with over 100,000 km on these parts are being pulled from service for replacement. (1/3)
