OC Transpo introduces new spring schedules
and reinstates Rack & Roll

Ottawa – On Sunday, April 15, OC Transpo will introduce new spring schedules and reinstate the Rack & Roll program. Rush hour commuter service will be improved with two new routes, 163 and 183, serving Kanata West and Palladium Drive, and extra trips added on route 101 serving Orléans residents. 

Starting April 15, OC Transpo will be adjusting service to reflect the lower seasonal demand. New spring schedules go into effect on most routes. Minor reductions mainly affect peak period routes and service to colleges and universities to coincide with the end of their regular school year. New printed timetables are available at OC Transpo Sales and Information Centres, through the mail by calling 613-741-4390, and at www.octranspo.com.  

New route 163 will provide residents in the Fairwinds subdivision of Kanata West, near Huntmar and Maple Grove, with a convenient link to Terry Fox Station and service to downtown, while new route 183 will provide a connection from Terry Fox Station to Palladium Drive. Additional rush hour trips will be added on route 101 to Place d’Orléans that will provide new direct connections to Carling Avenue, Queensway Station, Bayshore and Kanata. 

Rack & Roll returns April 15 for another season. Cyclists can bring their bikes on any OC Transpo bus equipped with a bike rack. Racks are available on more than 200 buses and 12 designated routes, including route 145 which has been added this year. 

Call 613-560-1000 plus your four-digit stop number for automated schedule information, 24 hours a day, up to six days in advance.
