Miranda GrayI'm at the @[email protected] Town Hall on "How We Get #Ottawa Moving". Congestion is strangling our city.
It will be available via Rogers22 YouTube in time. #OttTransit
Overall I suspect the easiest approach would be something like "in honour of transit pain and our 200th anniversary, throughout 2026, the 26th of each month is no fare required day". #OttTransit
Hmm. "We don't know how long Line 1 or Line 3 will take until we have trains running those curves."
It *seems* something that would be easy to model on a computer. #OttTransit
As I'm boarding a packed bus at Blair, the driver says: "this is a lot of people. Did they skip a bus or two?"
I don't know, buddy. But the posted schedule would put this run as either 20 minutes late or 10 minutes early. #OttTransit
Blake Hamilton@OC_Transpo’s solution to buses not showing up: maybe…heaters?
How about reliable service so we’re not standing still long enough to get hypothermia?!
Chronic mismanagement, real human costs. Riders deserve better.

Charles A-M@OttawaCititzen @ottawa-news-OttawaCititzen a couple letters bemoaning the loss of the #OCTranspo route 97 bus connection to the airport.
I'm curious: given that millions has been spent on a (dreadfully inconvenient) LRT connection to the airport, is there a feasible way to make it more convenient?
Like, would it be feasible to run the single-car airport train to Bayview during off-peak hours when Line 2 is at reduced frequency?
Kevin DorseIt’s almost like charging more for an ever worsening product is bad for sales. No one could have expected this! #ottawa #otttransit #octranspo
Posters in some Old Ottawa South businesses are encouraging patrons to "share your thoughts on the proposed bus lane." The link takes you to a form letter opposing the bus lane. Fortunately it's very easy to edit. 😀 #ottawalkers #ottbike #otttransit #ottawa
