With the reopening of the economy, transit ridership will increase. We've been working closely with Ottawa Public Health to develop a recovery plan to keep customers and staff as safe as possible. Wearing cloth masks, enhanced cleaning schedules, and protective shields for operators are some of the ways we'll keep everyone safer as we return to normal service.
