City paying outside experts to oversee LRT fix
The City of Ottawa is paying outside experts to ride herd on the consortium that built the $2.1-billion Confederation Line, councillors on the finance and economic development committee learned Tuesday.
OC Transpo boss John Manconi told them reliability is improving, but Rideau Transit Group (RTG) still can't commit to a specific date by which the problem-plagued system will be declared stable.
To move things along, Manconi announced the city would conduct an operational review and provide extra maintenance oversight due to what he characterized as "consistently poor performance" from RTG.
...
More buses, more drivers
Since its full launch on Oct. 6, the LRT has been plagued by issues with two computer systems — the train control monitoring system (TCMS) that talks to the signalling system, and the on-board computer system (VOBC) that controls the systems aboard each rail car — as well as door and signal faults.
Councillors heard the problems, especially with the TCMS, are improving. Last week, RTG missed its target for the number of kilometres travelled by just 1.8 per cent, its best performance in a month.
OC Transpo now has 20 buses on standby during the morning and afternoon rush hour commutes to help out during rail disruptions, costing the city $95,000 per week to operate. To help with crowded trains during peak hours, OC Transpo is also looking at putting two more double-car trains into service in January, bringing the total to 15.
