Ottawa –OC Transpo will reduce the number of buses operating along the Scott/Albert Transitway detour by up to 18% during peak periods when the detour is in effect from 2016-2018. This detour is required as part of the Confederation Line light rail transit (LRT) project.
The City of Ottawa has analyzed ideas submitted by the community on how to reduce the number of bus trips that need to run along the detour route. These suggestions have helped shape a number of service changes that will see a significant reduction of the total transit volumes along this corridor.
As part of the mitigation measures, OC Transpo will, pending approval from the National Capital Commission, divert out-of-service buses onto the Sir John A Macdonald Parkway. Also, some express routes will end at Bay Street in the morning peak period, rather than at LeBreton Station. These two service adjustments will result in daily peak period reductions of:
OC Transpo is also in the process of procuring more high capacity buses – double-decker or articulated – that will further reduce the number of buses on Scott/Albert by moving more people with fewer vehicles. In addition, other opportunities to reduce bus volumes on the detour will be constantly pursued through OC Transpo’s regular service adjustment process, using the Transitway as long as possible before starting detouring, and by encouraging transit customers to take the O-Train. None of these measures will reduce total transit capacity or connectivity for customers.
Between 2016 and 2018 buses will be detoured off the Transitway from Tunney’s Pasture to the downtown onto Scott and Albert Streets to allow for the construction of the Confederation Line. Further details, including the final design of the roadway, will be presented at a public meeting on June 16 from 6:30 - 9:00 p.m. at the Tom Brown Arena.

Also, some express routes will end at Bay Street in the morning peak period, rather than at LeBreton Station. These two service adjustments will result in daily peak period reductions of:
- 267 fewer buses west of City Centre Avenue (14% reduction during peak periods);
- 348 fewer buses between City Centre Avenue and Preston Street (18% reduction during peak periods); and,
- 133 fewer buses east of Preston Street (7% reduction during peak periods).
