Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Fri. September 12th, 2025

September 12, 2025

OC Transpo officials are still targeting a late-2025 opening of O-Train Line 1 service, predominantly to passengers in Orleans. However, when they were asked for a concrete launch date, none was given during Thursday’s Transit Committee meeting. Director of Rail Construction Richard Holder has outlined the 6 steps that are required before service can receive the green light.

Beacon Hill-Cyrville councillor Tim Tierney wasn’t holding his breath when asked about a pre-2026 launch date, holding onto hope for a February 2026 launch date instead. Kari Glynes-Elliott, a co-founder of Ottawa Transit Riders, joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 2. On a lighter note, it’s probably easier to catch a ride to the nearest movie theatre these days.

Plus, in an update to an ongoing postal service saga, Canada Post is putting its foot down on junk mail. CFRA's Chris Holski explains.

Toronto Blue Jays fans erupted in jubilation thanks to their team’s first trip to the American League Championship Series since 2016. Toronto defeated the New York Yankees 5-2 at Yankee Stadium to win the best-of-five ALDS 3-1, and will face either the Detroit Tigers or Seattle Mariners next.
