OC Transpo says bus availability is improving and more trains are available on Line 1, offering hope for Ottawa commuters who have faced service disruptions. The transit agency announced the update on April 24, 2026, noting that efforts to boost reliability are showing results.
Improved Bus Service
According to OC Transpo, bus availability has increased due to better maintenance and scheduling. The agency has added more buses to peak-hour routes and reduced the number of cancellations. Riders can expect more consistent service on major routes across the city.
Line 1 Train Availability
On the Confederation Line, OC Transpo has deployed additional trains to reduce wait times and overcrowding. The agency says that more trains are now in service during peak periods, improving frequency and capacity. This comes after months of challenges with the LRT system.
Transit officials emphasized that these improvements are part of an ongoing effort to restore public confidence. They are also investing in infrastructure upgrades and staff training to prevent future issues.
Commuters are advised to check the OC Transpo website or app for real-time updates on bus and train schedules. The agency continues to monitor performance and make adjustments as needed.
