OC Transpo will increase service starting Thursday, May 16.

Starting as soon as Sunday, June 23, buses will follow a new route between Laurier and Campus stations due to the closure of a section of the Transitway for construction of the Confederation Line Light Rail.

Para Transpo is in the midst of researching and developing a fare payment system that will offer customers a convenient, simple and flexible tool to pay for their trips.  It will be suitable for use on Para Transpo’s owned and operated mini buses and contracted taxi vehicles. It will also be an accepted fare payment method on conventional transit and it will integrate with Para Transpo’s existing scheduling and reservation software.

OC Transpo is reaching out to customers and stakeholders through a series of facilitated consultation sessions taking place at City Hall.  For those who cannot attend a consultation but still want to contribute, OC Transpo is offering opportunities for customers and stakeholders to provide feedback online at octranspo.com, by email, by mail and by fax between May 13 and June 7, 2013.

From May 1 to the end of August, U-Pass users will have to switch to a regular monthly pass, a PRESTO card or pay with tickets to ride on OC Transpo.

If you are 20 years of age or older and are buying an ADULT paper monthly pass, you may use your U-Pass Card as a Photo ID:

The U-Pass Card CANNOT be used as a Photo ID with a student paper pass … a standard OC Transpo Photo ID is required and is available at any OC Transpo Sales Centre.
