Free Transit Ottawa is fighting to make Ottawa's transit system free, reliable, and accessible for a more equitable and sustainable future for all.

Time savings estimate along one NYC bus route before and after implementation of bus lanes, signal priority, and free fares / fare zones.

"In an ideal world, all these investments could cut about 40 percent off the time of a trip."

Without very good transit, there will be very bad traffic.

The city's own projections into 2046 show high population growth concentrated in the suburbs. That's a lot of cars on the road without a good transit network (i.e. a frequent, functional LRT with reliable local bus connections).

The city is finally considering bus lanes in the Glebe! It's long overdue.

Some businesses want to maintain street parking, but it's locking Bank St in the past - and buses in traffic! #ottawa

Rather than fix our transit system, OC Transpo's New Ways to Bus will cut service hours by 3.5%, reduce or eliminate dozens of routes, and add more transfers and longer commutes for riders.

We're done waiting — for OC Transpo, City Hall, or anyone else to fix public transit. That's up to all of us, the people who use transit every day, the ones who know best what makes it work.

So let's share our transit experiences, identify problems, and organize for solutions. Together!

Nous n'attendons plus - qu'OC Transpo, la mairie ou qui que ce soit d'autre répare les transports publics.

Partageons donc nos expériences en matière de transport, identifions les problèmes et organisons des solutions. Ensemble !
