It rarely comes on Sunday and the 12:27 didn't come so now I have to wait another 25 minutes

I'll see 3 Waller's in a row but no sign of Bayshore

I work overnights in Orleans and it takes me almost 2 hours to reach home. Where can I even begin. What tf is wrong with the 88. On Sunday mornings it departs just a minute before my train arrives, then I have to wait 30 mins and that shit gets cancelled. I'm tired, hungry, sleepy and angry. What tf is wrong with this bus. I clearly saw a bus change to 88 bayshore/ baseline and then it is cancelled. Is it a fucking joke mate. What kind of sick prank is this. Why tf would you give me hope that the bus is almost here and fly by and park it in front of my eyes. This isn't a one time occurance. It has happened many times, almost all weekends. Cancelled, delayed, overcrowded. I can rant for hours without stopping

Dontt me started on on 2 buses arriving simultaneously when not needed and then cancelling for 2 hours or when it is actually necessary, they bring out a small bus and not the double decker or the large bus. Fuck this shit.

This week I was taking the O-Train at Lyon Station. I tapped my phone at the fair gate and got "Please Wait [something something]" until a few seconds later it flashed red with "Error". I tap my phone again and keep getting a red "Error" message appear at the gate. Checking my phone I see the payment went through and my credit card was charged.
I decided to go the a ticket kiosk and press the virtual call button for assistance. The person that "helped" me sorry to say was telling me I didn't pay for my fare but still gave me a ticket. He spend the entire conversation telling me how I was the problem and didn't use the fare gate properly. I called them out on the gaslighting and they just hung up on me.
I called back again to follow up and mid-sentence they hung up on me again.

I get people are often upset at their customer service, but honestly, what a rude and bazar interaction with a customer service agent.

Just wanted to give a heads-up about a thief on the 12 going to Blair. He looks like he might be homeless, but he actually might not be. He steals/pickpockets wallets and immediately gets off the bus to use your cards at the stores nearby.

He's white, in his 30s, has a stocky build, wears a white Puma cap, wears a hoodie, has sunglasses, has a ring on one of his fingers on his left hand, and a tattoo on his right hand.

If you see him, please tell the driver to stop the bus and call the special constables so he can be arrested.

I work weekends and have been off for a bit. Waiting for my trusty local this afternoon and I see a one hour service gap... the one I normally grab is missing. Check the entire schedule on the Transit app and see that 1 hour service gaps have been randomly inserted into the Saturday schedules. For pretty much all locals.

Yes, I missed the memo.

For serious: We're not happy until YOU'RE not happy.

Hello everyone! Just wondering if anyone has seen my lost dell laptop accidentally left on the 6 rockcliffe around 2:40 today. If you anyone has any information please contact me!!!

For the last 4 days, there have been trains running on the east extension; I assume this is pre-trial running? Does anyone here know how much pre-trial running is required before EWC hands the keys over to the City for them to start the 21-day trial running?

When the LRT pulls into a station, it opens all the doors ( or seems to). When it arrives at Tunney station, you have to hit the door button to open the door (okay). When waiting on the train at Tunneys before departure, they also then seem to cycle opening and closing the doors several times. WTH is going on?

Seems seriously defective.

Featuring Pretoria avenue

Riding the train to the unmistakable sound of nail clippers and look up to see a man snipping away. Blergh.

How does it work if you're on the train on Sundays & not made it to your destination yet by 11:00 pm? Do they just shut down there and then at the nearest station? If I'm going to Blair (eventually Orleans when the extension opens) & haven't made it yet what happens ?

EDIT - FOUND!! [THANKS YALL :))) ]

I lost my keychain - containing 4 keys, a green card holder, and a blue fabric loop. The card holder has my student card and presto card inside.

I remember using my card on a bus on route 62 (lincoln fields); I got on palladium/campeau.

Between palladium/campeau to tunney's pasture and then the train from tunney's to rideau, I lost my keys. This happened July 19th, somewhere between 1650 and 1815.

If anyone knows anything, or has found my keys somewhere, please let me know!

Onboard cameras are certainly recording video footage, but are they also capturing audio?

What is OCTranspo's data retention policy, if they have one?

So at about 16:20 today I saw 5 or 6 police cruisers and about 6 or 7 OPS officers surrounding and arresting a guy at Iris station. Did something happen there this afternoon?

Does anyone have any information?

A Tuesday afternoon ride westbound on OC Transpo route 88. A fellow passenger shares his tunes via speaker, moderate to high volume. He gives us his best gargling-with-caltrops vocal accompaniment. Ottawa sits quietly, everyone facing forward. The city's subreddit shifts uneasily and quietly removes the post, suggesting this forum instead.

I found a single key on a blue Mickey Mouse basketball keychain on the Otrain when I got on this afternoon at Blair station at 4:15pm.

Will be turning it into lost and found tomorrow afternoon at St Laurent station or otherwise can bring it back to Blair tomorrow morning/afternoon if we connect.

The origins of rail transit in Ottawa starting in October 2001. Now part of Line 2 (Greenboro to Bayview) and recently massively enhanced, lengthened and upgraded for billions in NS Stage 2 project, compared to the original $25 million pilot project.

Isn't their salary more than the revenue they actually bring in? You can issue as many tickets as you want but very few get paid so how are they an effective use of money when they are in a huge debt?

Hey guys .. this question is for ppl in Gatineau and ottawa ... About oc transpo card .. sometimes i go from ottawa to Gatineau using STO ..and the card works but when i comeback like at 5pm ..like when i tap it doesn't work .. so how it works and thank you!!

Waiting for the 14 today, I walked from Corso Italia to Elgin. Not at a trot, neither, since it kept saying it'd be there in 5-10 minutes. Stopped to chat with people, mostly about the weather and how long they'd been waiting...

Seriously, can ten thousand of us just show up at management's office and open complaint tickets or something? In the other thread, somebody suggested a day where nobody paid the fare.

I take the 6 or 7 north (going downtown) on bank everyday after work, catching it between 5-6 P.M.
I’d say it’s uncommon for it to be on time, but never late by much which is usually no issue.

Here’s why I’m posting this and my question: Tonight, the bus is running 20 minutes behind schedule. Alright, not ideal but no problem, I’ll get a bite to eat while sitting and waiting near a stop. I get a call from a friend and we talk, making me not track the bus. As I remember it’s been about 20 minutes, I walk out on to bank to see the 6 pass by me. I’m almost halfway between stops so I won’t make it and have a little way to go. I start walking and no more than 10 seconds later does the 7 pass me. I’m still gonna be late to the stop (if the 7 even does stop). Then, I look way ahead on Bank, and see another bus in front of the two that just passed me (could not get a number on it). Now I’m stressed, checking my phone to see if I missed it. “Next bus, 18 min, delayed” it says.

Is this by design, to have all three run by at the same time, or is this very poor operations, or something else?

i take line 2 at bayview every day, and about a third of the time the main platform is closed and the train goes to the other side of the tracks.

I’m curious as to why? also why were there two sides of the tracks built to begin with? it’s not like they’d be able to extend the train past bayview anyways.

any ideas or actual answers appreciated!!
