Calling Out Stops
OC Transpo quality assurance personnel measure whether or not each bus operator is announcing major bus stops along his or her route. Each month, “silent shoppers” travel across the system to assess operators and report results.
The Canadian Transportation Agency has established that major bus stops be announced according to OC Transpo policy, and that monthly reports of progress towards that goal be publicized on octranspo.com.
All of our bus fleet is now equipped with the automated Next Stop Announcement System (NSAS).
