Ottawa –
War veterans who wear their medals and/or uniforms can ride OC Transpo and
STO (Société de transport de l’Outaouais) free during National
Veterans’ Week – November 5 to 11.
Where
it is safe to do so, OC Transpo and STO buses will pull over to the side
of the road to observe two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. on November 11. Taps
and Reveille will be played over the radios of
OC Transpo buses.
On
Remembrance Day, OC Transpo will run a Sunday schedule and on Monday,
November 12, a revised weekday schedule will operate with minor
reductions on some routes. OC Transpo Sales and Information Centres will
be closed November 11 and 12 with the exception of the Rideau Centre that
will be open from 12:30 to 5 p.m. on November 11 and from 8:30 a.m. to 9
p.m. on November 12.
