Accessible Transit
We are committed to providing transit services that are accessible to everyone.
Bus and O-Train
OC Transpo buses and the O-Train are fully accessible. Their low floors allow for easy boarding. We have allocated spaces in each vehicle for customers using assistive or mobility devices.
Many accessibility services and features make taking the bus and O-Train (also known as “conventional transit”) easier.
Conventional transit follows regular schedules and routes. To use the bus and O-Train, you need to get to and from the stop and board the vehicle. You will need to be able to do this on your own or with the help of a support person. Conventional transit lets you travel at your convenience.
Para Transpo
Para Transpo is a shared-ride, book-in-advance, door-to-door transit service. We provide this service to eligible registered customers who cannot take conventional transit—some or all of the time—because of a disability.
Even if have registered with Para Transpo, you can still use buses and the O-Train without affecting your eligibility. Regular fares apply to conventional transit.
