NEW: OC Transpo proactively cancelling dozens of bus trips a day for R1 service ottnews
OC Transpo is proactively reassigning dozens of buses from regularly scheduled routes to R1 service every day and moving LRT operators back to buses, to keep transit riders moving during the extended O-Train shutdown.
To ensure there are enough buses for the R1 service, OC Transpo is redirecting buses from regularly scheduled routes to the replacement bus service. "The decision to redirect resources is based on the possible impact to customers. For example, high frequency trips are more likely to have trips that are not delivered than school routes, first and last trips on a route, and on less frequent routes."
