OC Transpo

OC Transpo reduces service for Easter, introduces new spring schedules and reinstates Rack & Roll

Ottawa – OC Transpo will operate a reduced service on Good Friday and Easter Monday. On Sunday, April 16, OC Transpo will introduce new spring schedules and reinstate the Rack & Roll program.  

On Good Friday buses will operate on a reduced Sunday schedule and the O-Train will operate on a regular Sunday schedule. On Easter Monday there will be minor weekday schedule reductions and the cancellation of all school routes numbered in the 600s, supplementary school trips and routes 105 and 180. 

OC Transpo Sales and Information Centres will be closed Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday with the exception of the Rideau Centre office that will be open Easter Monday from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. 

Starting April 16, OC Transpo will be adjusting service to reflect the lower seasonal demand. New spring schedules go into effect on most routes.
