O-Train Line 1 closed October 4 and 5 for planned maintenance

October 1, 2025
O-Train Line 1 service will be fully closed and replaced by R1 bus service on the weekend of October 4 and 5, 2025.

O-Train Line 1 will be closed and full R1 service will run this weekend while Rideau Transit Maintenance (RTM) performs planned maintenance work on the system.

For customers, this means that on October 4 and 5:

  • O-Train Line 1 service will not operate between Tunney’s Pasture and Blair stations.
  • R1 bus service will run between Tunney’s Pasture and Blair stations during normal hours of operation.

During the maintenance period, nearby residents may notice noise levels increase for short periods of time at different locations as work proceeds along Line 1.

Regular planned maintenance is necessary to ensure long-term sustainability and improvements to the service reliability of O-Train Line 1. OC Transpo and RTM continue to work collaboratively to reduce the impacts to customers and minimize disruptions wherever possible.

OC Transpo staff will be at key stations to support customers during this planned closure. For information on planned Line 1 service adjustments, visit octranspo.com. For trip planning assistance, use the Travel Planner or Transit app, or call 613-560-5000. You can also connect with OC Transpo through Facebook, Bluesky, X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram.
