OC Transpo's fall schedule includes increased bus service along LRT lines

OC Transpo will increase bus service along the Confederation Line and Trillium Line this fall, to keep passengers moving during maintenance and construction work along Ottawa's two rail transit lines.

OC Transpo will increase bus service along the Confederation Line and Trillium Line this fall, to keep passengers moving during maintenance and construction work along Ottawa's two rail transit lines.

The transit service has unveiled plans for the fall schedule, which includes service adjustments and seasonal service changes to accommodate increased passenger volumes for back-to-school and work following the summer. The new fall service changes begin on Aug. 27, and customers can find information on octranspo.com.

Acting general manager of Transit Services Michael Morgan says the fall schedule will include the Shuttle Express bus service along the Confederation Line, and increased frequency for the replacement bus service along Line 2.

This fall, the Confederation Line will continue to operate with single-car service between Blair Road and Tunney's Pasture stations as part of the modified return-to-service plan, including 11 cars during the morning peak period and 13 cars during the afternoon peak period.  OC Transpo plans to continue to operate the Shuttle Express Service as an alternative to Line 1, with buses running between Blair Station and downtown and Tunney's Pasture Station and downtown.

OC Transpo says shuttle buses will run every 10 minutes between Blair Station and downtown and Tunney's Pasture and downtown.
