May 5, 2025: O-Train Line 1 early closure for Stage 2 work on Sunday, May 11

This memo is to inform the Mayor and Members of Council that there will be an early closure of O-Train Line 1 service at 8 pm on Sunday, May 11, to allow for planned Stage 2 work.

For customers, this means that on Sunday, May 11:

• O-Train Line 1 service will end at 8 pm.
• R1 bus service will operate between Tunney’s Pasture and Blair stations from 7:45 pm until 11 pm.
• In addition to R1 buses, shuttle bus service will run between St-Laurent and Cyrville stations, and between Lees Station and Mackenzie King Bridge, during the closure.
• After 11 pm, night service bus routes will run on a regular schedule.
• Service on O-Train Line 1 will resume at the regular start time of 5 am on Monday, May 12.

This temporary closure is required for Stage 2 systems integration, in preparation for Line 1 service to be extended from Blair to Trim Station as part of the O-Train East extension. This planned work will take place during the evening and overnight to minimize impacts to customers.

OC Transpo understands that this service adjustment is disruptive and thanks customers for their ongoing patience as work progresses on the East extension.

Information, reminders, and updates will be communicated through various channels, including public service announcements, customer alerts, social media updates, signage at Line 1 stations, and on octranspo.com.

Customers can visit octranspo.com for travel planning assistance or call 613-560-5000. Schedules are available by calling 613-560-1000 or texting 560560 plus the bus stop number.
