OC Transpo is excited to introduce a new, more accessible format for Para Transpo customer engagement. Para Transpo Talk is a series of customer engagement events that are open to all Para Transpo customers. All Para Transpo customers, their families, companions and support persons are welcome, no matter how often you take Para Transpo. There’s no need to register in advance, just drop in.
Customer feedback helps make service better. Customers who join a Para Transpo Talk event will have the opportunity to hear updates on Para Transpo service, speak directly to OC Transpo staff, ask questions and give feedback.
