❄ Winter readiness ❄

Winter is coming and we are taking steps to continue to provide safe and reliable transit throughout.

Months before the first snowfall, our crews take multiple steps to prepare buses and trains for poor road conditions and various types of winter weather. Read our OC Explained: Winter Operations blog to learn more.

When extreme winter weather is forecast, there may be changes to bus types, trips, and schedules. 

Severe Storm Schedule: In effect for buses on weekdays when 31 cm or more of snow (or a mixture of wet, heavy snow, ice, and freezing rain) is expected. Visit the Winter travels page for details.

They saw newly laid tracks, vibrant green wall tiles reflecting Algonquin's colours, and the 67-metre enclosed bridge that will connect riders directly to campus.
