Ottawa has unveiled changes to it's transit system's bus routes and fares upon start of its LRT service in 2018. For those familiar with Ottawa's bus transitway and it's infamous bus jams across the the downtown this fact should astound you: the number of buses will drop by 90% on the main east/west corridors through downtown.

Which got me to thinking that the annual GRT service improvement plan for the fall seems late this year. It usually comes out between April and May for the coming September, but is not out yet. I suspect we will see it this Friday because there are only two committee meetings left before September and an August roll out and consultation seems too late.

Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
