Introducing OC Transpo Helps

OC Transpo sent its first Tweet in 2010. Since then, how we use Twitter has evolved.

As of May 1, @OCTranspoLive is now @OC_TranspoHelps. This rebranded account is your number one location for customer service support on Twitter. 

Let us use more than 280 characters to introduce @OC_TranspoHelps, where customers can continue to find helpful trip information, and to update you on what real-time information improvements are underway.
