Coming soon to Blackburn Hamlet... OC Transpo On-Demand!

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.

All aboard for safety!

Whether you’re a long-time O-Train Line 1 user or a beginner on the bus, there’s never a bad time to brush up on transit safety!

Find safety tips for waiting, boarding, riding and more on our Safe Travels page.

When everyone contributes, we are safer together.

OC Transpo’s Bus Route Review

OC Transpo is committed to delivering the best possible service to customers. The bus route review was launched in January 2023 as part of OC Transpo’s five-year roadmap. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been significant changes to how often and how many customers use transit.
