We’re recruiting members for a new Transit Advisory Group.
This group will advise leadership on the operation of transit, including Para Transpo, bus service and the O-Train.
We expect to hold at least 3–4 meetings per year. Issues discussed could include:
One of Aditi's most satisfying parts of the job is interacting with passengers.
For most of our customers, their trip begins with the help of a bus operator.
Even with more than 1600 bus operators on the OC Transpo team, it isn’t uncommon for customers to remember the operator on their route. For many operators, it is the same for their customers and the job is much more than driving a bus.
We caught up with Aditi to find out what inspired her to work for OC Transpo and what it takes to be a bus operator.
Saturday, December 9, from 10 am to 5 pm:
OC Transpo and City of Ottawa volunteers will be collecting food and donations for the Ottawa Food Bank. Donations can be dropped off at participating Loblaws, Real Canadian Superstore, Your Independent Grocer and No Frills stores across Ottawa.

We’re making it easier to find the information you’re looking for whenever you need it.
Our expanded Help page distills some of the most frequently requested information about our bus and O-Train network so you can ride with confidence.

You can watch the presentation here or check out the highlights from the meeting.
Have you checked out our Rack & Roll practice bike rack? The practice bike rack moves to different locations around the city so that everyone can try it out.

Hey Blackburn Hamlet, soon we’ll be launching OC Transpo On-Demand, an on-demand transit pilot project that will replace Route 28 on weekends and select holidays.
On-demand transit uses technology to create responsive transit service based on customers trip requests instead of traditional fixed routes and schedules. Customers will be able to book same-day and next-day trips between existing Route 28 bus stops and at Blair Station and the Gloucester Centre.
During the pilot project, OC Transpo On-Demand will run from 7 am to midnight on Saturdays and 9 am to 6:30 pm on Sundays.
Route 28 will continue to operate on weekdays when OC Transpo On-Demand is not in service.
