OC Transpo is reducing midday service on the O-Train this fall from every 5 minutes to every 10 minutes, as tens of thousands of students and federal workers are set to return to the downtown core.
The OC Transpo website says starting Aug. 26, the Confederation Line will run every 10 minutes at stations between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on weekdays. Peak-period service will continue to be every 5 minutes, according to OC Transpo.
“This change adjusts Line 1 service during weekday off-peak periods to better reflect current demand and travel patterns,” OC Transpo says on its website.
“Line 1 will continue to offer sufficient capacity to meet off-peak passenger volumes. This change will be closely monitored. Should ridership increase, adjustments can be made.”
