Public urged to review, comment on 'New Ways to Bus' plan

April 18, 2024

OC Transpo has unveiled its plan to revamp local bus service and it has invited the riding public to review the changes to service frequency and routes and submit their comments to the transit commission.

The “New Ways to Bus” plan will impact more than 100 local routes across the city staring in the fall when O-Train routes 2 and 4 are expected to begin operation.

Among the routes that will be impacted are 27 frequent routes that run seven days a week including every 15 minutes or less during the week, including both the 25 and the 39. Another 58 local routes designed to take riders to neighbourhood destinations and transit hubs where they can connect with frequent routes and the extended O-Train network. In Orléans that includes the 24, 30. 31, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 138, 221, 228, 234 and 237.

Once implemented the plan will see a shift from downtown-focused bus routes to routes that improve connections to community hubs and key destinations. Some customers may have to go further to the bus stop, and/or have additional transfers to buses or trains

In addition to fewer Connexion routes, some routes will be retired due to low ridership and to improve connections to new routes and the O-Train. Retired routes will be replaced with alternative service nearby.
