OC Transpo is releasing specific details about how bus commutes will change when the north-south Trillium Line LRT launches later this year.
An OC Transpo bus turns onto Elgin St. from Wellington St. in downtown Ottawa, Ont. in this undated photo.
Among the changes is 27 "frequent" routes that will run seven days a week every 15 minutes or less on weekdays, 58 local routes that connect to neighbourhood destinations and transit hubs, and 17 "Connexion" routes that connect to the O-Train during peak periods. Forty-five existing routes will be removed or replaced by other routes, and 17 new routes will be introduced.
"The big new thing is the route map. This is something that riders can really dig into to take a look at what the entire network will look like," he told CTVNewsOttawa.ca by phone. "At Transit Commission, we saw the frequent route map, but this new map shows the entire network." "We know people make decisions about where to live and work and shop based on the bus system, so there will be a lot of information and a lot of reminders in the coming weeks and months about these changes," he said. "If people have questions, they're encouraged to reach out to OC Transpo or their city councillor to discuss them."
