A motion being put forward today for the budget that would see service frequencies on Line 1 increased off-peak to 6 minutes (from the current 10 minutes). This would be very welcome news and relief to many that travel outside of the peak periods during midway.

Yesterday, Ottawa City Council approved the 2026 budget.
Councillors were good about pointing out the fundamental problems with our bus reliability, but they still voted in support of a budget that will not solve the bus shortage.

Impressive level of neglect. That they couldn't even get taxis and house them in Brockville, or just straight up drive them to Ottawa.

Via Rail’s quality of service is far, far below international standards – Canadians need to stop normalizing this:
“Via Rail passengers arrived in Ottawa more than 12 hours late on Thursday, after “serious mechanical issues” forced them to spend the night sitting on a train in Brockville, Ontario”
