OC Transpo says buses, O-Train have ‘sufficient’ capacity to meet ridership demands in September [Video]

The head of OC Transpo insists there is “sufficient additional capacity” available on OC Transpo buses and the O-Train as federal public servants return to the office this week.

Starting Monday, federal employees in the core public service will be required to be in the office a minimum of three days a week, and executives will need to be on-site a minimum of four days a week.

Workers return to the office two weeks after OC Transpo cut the frequency of midday and evening off-peak service on the Confederation Line.  The O-Train is running at five minute intervals between 6:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., but trains will run every 10 minutes between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. and 11 p.m.
