Specifies that it’s for Toronto and Hamilton. Is Ottawa really excluded?

I’ve been tapping my credit card in Apple Pay but read that in Toronto at least, fare inspectors don’t recognize that credit card payments do not show until the day after and that’s been causing a lot of transit takers headaches. People are recommending using Presto to tap but it’s not clear to me if it’s by adding Presto to Apple Pay or using the Presto app. I really prefer not having another app crowding up my phone.

Just got to South Keys and the next line 2 train to Bayview is in 37 minutes and 49 minutes! What the hell happened to 12 minute service? This is mid day into rush hour! This is how we serve our paying public?

I was reading about the LRT facing multiple delays due to Axle problems with its trains and I was wondering if the way the engineered the whole system was big mistake. What if they engineered line 1 in a similar system to Torontos TTC ? If they used trains similar to the ttc network and maybe utilized third rail system instead of overhead wires, could the O Train line 1 could be superior in a way that would have less breakdowns and delays ?

I’m not sure if this is classified as a discussion or question but I need your guys opinion

Just a rant. These fare machines suck BUNS. Kept declining and I have money on my card. I look at my bank card AND THE PAYMENT CAME OUT. Even worse, a double charge. Why do we even bother genuinely.

Over the years, I have noticed that whenever someone complains about OC Transpo, or a driver people are quick to come to the defence of OC Transpo. Recent proof of this is the woman who got frostbite because the bus showed up way later than scheduled.

Today, I saw a driver cross the line. The bus I was on (68 direction baseline) skipped a stop full of black kids and an elderly man. When will OC Transpo and their workers be held accountable for their bad behaviour including; theft and racism?

A few months ago, someone I know one forgot their wallet on the bus. The route had the same driver at the same time every day. The next day, the driver said they found the wallet and brought it into lost and found. My friend put in a lost and found ticket and called them daily for weeks. The lost and found said they never got a wallet and that the driver was a liar and shouldn’t have said they got it. What the hell does that mean? The driver was then removed from the route.

People are quick to say “buy a car” when there are OC Transpo complaints, but that is not feasible for everyone.

Also if anyone is heading downtown/Sandy Hill from Kanata (kinda south) around 3:30-4p LMK

I starting to notice more frequent electric buses on various routes, could that have anything to the massive cancels recently?

Presto cards are working.

No train service on Line 1 for the rest of the night. R1 rail replacement bus service is currently running between Blair and Tunney's Pasture.

Yesterday around 3:00, I was on the Line 2 train from Bayview. Apparently, there was a trespasser at Walkley, which meant I had to stay at Bayview for 30 minutes.
Did anyone else hear about this
