Service resumed on a portion of the Confederation Line between Tunney's Pasture and uOttawa stations on Tuesday morning.
OC Transpo is planning to cut LRT frequency during off-peak hours just as the fall university semester resumes and public servants prepare to spend more time in the office, according to a Monday memo.OC Transpo says that Confederation Line trains will soon arrive every 10 minutes between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on weekdays, rather than every five to six minutes.
The memo said rail service frequency will remain at five minutes during the morning and afternoon rush hours, while weekend service will also remain unchanged.The local transit operator union, Amalgamated Transit Union Local 279, reacted by saying that investment, not cuts, is the way to get more people riding the trains.
"People need to move around beyond just the peak commuting hours. And by making public transit an even less convenient option than it is currently … we're just going to see more people take trips using cars and adding to our climate emergency."OC Transpo is dealing with a bleak financial picture due to low ridership that still hasn't recovered from the pandemic. Fare revenueThe long-term forecast is even more troubling.
