In the lead up to the Confederation Line launch on September 14,
2019, transit riders and Council were advised that service reliability would
improve when the light rail train service began and when most crosstown bus
routes were eliminated from Ottawa’s core.
I understand that the Confederation Line is new and that, as with
anything that is new and complex, there are always issues that need to be
addressed and fine details ironed out. However, the City’s bus service is not
new, and riders continue to experience issues with service reliability even
after the launch of the Confederation Line.
Riders have reported buses failing to show up at their scheduled
times, certain routes being consistently late, or trips being outright
cancelled. A small sample of some of the routes that east end residents have
reported experiencing delays recently include: routes 228, 225, 25, 34, and
30.
In some cases, residents have reported that the first scheduled
bus on a route was significantly late (an example is the more than 20-minute
delay of the 228 on October 7, 2019). When buses are not showing up at the
beginning of their routes, it speaks to a larger issue with reliability of
the service.
Additionally, since the transition to LRT, service start times for
certain routes, for instance the 30, 37, and 35, are later, resulting in transit
riders being late for work or seeking alternative transportation options.
Would OC Transpo staff advise as to what specific concrete actions,
and the costs associated with implementing these measures, are being taken to
address the following:
·
ensure buses arrive as scheduled;
·
ensure operational processes are in place so that when
a bus is delayed the impact to customers is limited and clearly communicated;
·
reduce the number of cancelled trips;
·
return service start times to pre-LRT transition times
in cases were riders and the Ward Councillor have identified this as an
issue.
Additionally, what is OC Transpo’s plan to improve and expand bus
service in the east end, and city-wide, in 2020, 2021 and 2022?

the meeting at 11:04 am.
