OC Transpo sees ridership climb to 63% of pre-pandemic levels

In September, OC Transpo saw ridership increase by 63% over pre-pandemic levels after providing 5.7 million customer-trips by train, bus, and Para Transpo.

We’re excited to welcome back previous customers and new ones riding our buses and trains for the first time.

Bus service reliability continues to improve thanks to a full complement of vehicles and the hiring of new vehicle operators.

For more information on ridership, visit our performance measures page.

New devices are being tested on Para Transpo

You may have noticed new tablets on board Para Transpo vehicles recently.

We’re working on bringing new ways to pay to Para Transpo and the first step is having Operators test out the new equipment.

For now, only a few mini buses are part of the test. There is no change to what customers should do or how they should pay.

When we begin to install fare readers on all our Para Transpo vehicles, we’ll share more information about the new ways you can pay for your trip.
