OC Transpo

OC Transpo introduces new spring schedules
and reinstates Rack & Roll

Ottawa – On Sunday, April 20, OC Transpo will introduce new spring schedules and reinstate the Rack & Roll program.  

Starting April 20, OC Transpo will adjust 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.

In Orléans route 32 will be extended along Lakeridge to Vistapark in order to reduce walking distances for customers, and route 94 will be increased to operate every 15 minutes in most weekday time periods. Route 117 will be suspended April 29 to coincide with the end of the post-secondary school year, but will resume in September. 

Rack & Roll returns April 20 for another season. Cyclists can bring their bikes on any OC Transpo bus equipped with a bike rack. Racks are available on more than 250 buses and eight designated routes. 

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

For more information and travel planning, call 613-741-4390 or visit octranspo.com.
