OC Transpo’s fall service starts Sunday, September 2. Many route changes will be made and new route numbers introduced to get ready for the opening of O-Train Line 1, the Confederation Line, later this year. Other fall service changes include adjusted schedules to reflect the higher demand for service as customers return to work and school.

Visit octranspo.com and use the travel planner to see if your regular trips are affected.

Route changes to special school service

Eligible elementary and secondary students will receive their youth transit pass on a Presto card at school. Other customers aged 13 to 19 can get a youth discount set on their Presto card at an OC Transpo Customer Service Centre or at select Shoppers Drug Mart, Loblaws or Real Canadian Superstore locations with proof of age.

Fall/Winter U-Pass

Eligible university and college students can pick up or reload their 2018-19 U‑Pass on campus at Carleton University, Saint Paul University, the University of Ottawa and Algonquin College. The Fall/Winter U-Pass is valid from September 1, 2018 until April 30, 2019. The 2018 Summer U-Pass expires August 31, 2018.

Route 107 renumbered as R2

Route 107, which only runs as a temporary bus service if train service on O-Train Line 2 is disrupted, will be renumbered as R2 starting September 2. The R2 route will be the same as the old Route 107.

Recreational destination service ends

Special summer weekend service will end after Labour Day on Route 129 to the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, Route 139 to Petrie Island, and Route 185 to the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum and Experimental Farm.

Construction detours

Routes 6, 7, 9, 10 (former Route 4), 11, 16, 17, 18 and 19 will detour around roadwork on Queen Street due to the ongoing Queen Street Renewal project. Routes 283 and 301 will continue to detour around roadwork on the Richmond Bridge in the village of Richmond. Route 40 will detour when the intersection of St. Laurent Boulevard and Walkley Road is closed for utility work.

Reminder: Old paper bus tickets have expired

OC Transpo no longer accepts paper bus tickets on board. After Friday, August 31, paper bus tickets will no longer be exchangeable towards new fare products at OC Transpo Customer Service Centres. Customers should use Presto e-purse or cash instead—it will cost the same or less. On Para Transpo, use ParaPay or cash. At O-Train stations, you can use ticket machines to buy single-ride tickets for immediate use.

Labour Day

On Monday, September 3, OC Transpo will operate a Sunday schedule, meaning only those routes that normally run on Sundays will be in service. Summer service to museums and recreational destinations on Routes 129, 139 and 185 will be running. Holiday schedules are available at octranspo.com.

The DayPass will be valid as a family pass on Labour Day. A family or group of up to six people, with a maximum of two individuals aged 13 or older, can ride all day with one $10.50 DayPass.

OC Transpo Customer Service Centres and the Transit Information Line (613-741-4390) will be open. On Saturday, September 1, Customer Service Centres at Lincoln Fields, Place d’Orléans and St-Laurent will also be open from 11 am to 5 pm.

Para Transpo will operate a holiday service on Labour Day. Regular scheduled trips are automatically cancelled. Book trips for Labour Day by calling 613-244-7272 on or after August 27.

Real-time schedule information is available 24 hours a day by calling 613-560-1000 or texting 560560 plus the four‑digit bus stop number, or by using the OC Transpo iPhone app or other independent smartphone apps.
