OC Transpo wraps up another 
successful season of Rack & Roll

Ottawa – OC Transpo’s Rack & Roll program wraps up for the season on October 31 as the racks go into hibernation for the winter. Once again this year the racks continued to be well-used by transit customers who found travelling by bus and bike a convenient way to get around.    

Initiated in 1999, the Rack & Roll program now has 297 rack-equipped buses that are installed mostly on routes 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 85, 95, 96, 97, 101, 118 and 145. Routes 95, 96 and 97 continued to be the busiest routes due to their length of travel, which enabled cyclists to enjoy various paths and destinations that might otherwise have been unavailable.

The removal of all bike racks will take several days, so some cyclists may be fortunate enough to get in a few final trips on buses that have not yet had their racks removed.

For transit information and trip planning assistance, customers should call OC Transpo at 613‑741‑4390 or visit www.octranspo.com.
