Starting Sunday, July 5, O-Train Line 1 will operate a modified schedule with trains running every 8 minutes all day and every day. Alstom and RTG/RTM will be performing additional safety inspections on each train after every time they are in service. Once these additional inspections are no longer required and they can revert back to the regular maintenance and safety regime, Line 1 will resume a normal weekday, Saturday and Sunday schedule.
