Route 11
One of the concerns I’ve been hearing a lot about from residents is the late and unreliable service of Bus Route 11. Many older adults in our community rely on this route to run errands, attend appointments, and stay connected to essential services.
The recent transit report confirmed what many of you have shared with me: Route 11 has been significantly off schedule, and this is simply not acceptable. Reliable transit is a lifeline for so many in our community, and this situation needs to be addressed.
That’s why I’ve asked OC Transpo to conduct a specific review of this route to better understand the issues and propose solutions. We will share any updates when we receive them.
O-Train Lines 2 and 4 will open on Saturdays starting Saturday, January 25
O-Train Lines 2 and 4 will open on Saturdays starting Saturday, January 25. This expansion of service follows the launch of weekday service on January 6 and demonstrated safe and consistent service on Lines 2 and 4.
O-Train Lines 2 and 4 run from 6 am to midnight Monday to Friday and from 6:30 am to midnight on Saturdays.
Existing bus service will continue to run alongside Lines 2 and 4, providing parallel bus service options for customers. This parallel service, which includes B2 buses, Route 97 and Route 99 will be available for customers every day of the week.
Line 2 and 4 service will continue to run from Monday to Saturday for a minimum of two weeks. Staff will continue to closely monitor the system during this time to ensure the continued delivery of safe and consistent performance before expanding service to seven days a week.
The expansion of Line 2 and 4 service to six days a week follows the phased opening plan informed by the Public Inquiry report, lessons learned, and third-party recommendations.
