Public transit in Canada's capital
From Dec. 23 to Dec. 27 and Dec. 30 to Jan. 3, all routes will operate on a reduced schedule.
Para Transpo will operate a holiday service on Christmas Day (Dec. 25) Boxing Day (Dec. 26), and on New Year’s Day (Jan. 1).
Customer Service Centres and telephone lines are open with holiday hours during the Christmas and New Year's period.
Two-way traffic returns to Elgin St. on Dec. 16 as the Elgin Street Renewal project begins the next phase.
Routes 5, 14, and 114 will go back to their regular routing on Elgin St. Next Stop Announcements on these routes will be updated on Dec. 22.
O-Train replacement service now includes an Express option.
R1 Express buses may be activated to replace busy parts of Line 1 if the train is not running. R1 Express skips some stations to quickly re-connect you with Line 1 trains. Skipped stations are served by Regular R1 replacement service.
Starting Nov. 25, Route 16 operates every 15 minutes during the day on weekdays.
Trips have been added to better service destinations downtown and along Albert St.
