Easter Holiday Service


Ottawa- OC Transpo is operating Sunday service on Good Friday, April 13, and a reduced weekday service on Easter Monday, April 16. Saturday and Easter Sunday service will not change.

On Easter Monday, all routes except for school trips are operating. Most express (green) and peak-period (red) routes will operate every 20 minutes or less. Service will also be reduced on several regular (black) routes. Because arrival time on all routes may vary from their normal schedules, customers are advised to verify the arrival time of their bus by calling 560-1000 plus their four-digit bus stop number.

On Sundays and statutory holidays such as Good Friday, OC Transpo's DayPass becomes a Family Pass. A family of up to six people, with a maximum of two who are 12 or older can travel all day for $5.

OC Transpo's Sales and Information centres will be closed on Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday, except for the Rideau Centre office, which will be open on Easter Monday. On Saturday, the Sales and Information Centres in St. Laurent, Lincoln Fields and Place d'Orléans Transitway stations will be open from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., while the Rideau Centre office will be open from 10:00 a .m. to 6:00 p.m.
