OC Transpo has announced that O-Train Lines 2 and 4 will be open on Saturdays starting Saturday, January 25!
Since the launch of weekday service on January 6, Lines 2 and 4 has performed safely and reliably, and OC Transpo is now ready to expand service to six days a week. After six-day service runs for a minimum of two weeks and demonstrates consistent and safe performance, it will be expanded to include Sundays – offering full seven-day service. Throughout each phase, staff will assess the system to ensure it is delivering a positive customer experience.
Parallel bus service will continue to run alongside Lines 2 and 4 so you can take your time getting familiar with the new train lines. B2 bus service will continue to run until train service has proven to be reliable, and Routes 97 and 99 will continue to run alongside the new lines until New Ways to Bus comes into effect in spring 2025. Route 99 will be adjusted to connect to Line 2 at Limebank Station once seven-day service begins.
O-Train Line 2
Line 2 provides service approximately every 12 minutes and takes about 35 minutes to travel the 19 kilometres between Bayview and Limebank stations. Line 2 features 11 stations and three Park & Ride lots at Greenboro, Leitrim and Bowesville stations. Stadler FLIRT diesel trains operate along the track and can carry up to 420 passengers comfortably. Alstom LINT trains, coupled in pairs, will also run on Line 2.
O-Train Line 4
Line 4 connects to Line 2 at South Keys Station and provides service to the Airport. Line 4 provides service approximately every 12 minutes and takes seven minutes to travel from the Airport to South Keys Station. The Line 4 extension adds 2 new stations, including Uplands Station, conveniently located at the EY Centre. The airport extension is served by refurbished Alstom LINT diesel trains which previously operated successfully along Line 2 for several years. Each train can carry up to 260 passengers comfortably.
