- South Keys Mall – pick up every 30 minute

The above buses will run from 7:00 a.m. – 12 p.m. and 6:00-11:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday for the duration of exams in the event of an OC Transpo strike. Please note the posted times are approximate and there may be delays due to weather conditions and traffic. The shuttle service is available to Carleton students only and students must show their Campus Card as they board the bus.

More information, including location and schedule information, is available on the CUSA website at: CUSA Homepage.

The Carleton/uOttawa shuttle bus service will run during the weekdays and additional Saturday times will be added for the duration of the potential strike. For more information, including the most up-to-date timetable, please visit: Information Carleton - Shuttle Bus Service.
