Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. January 22nd, 2026

It’s another major hiccup for Ottawa’s LRT, as Line 1 has been reverted back to a reduced service after another issue was spotted with the trains. Somerset councillor Ariel Troster says the situation with our city’s transit system is pretty dire, and drastic steps must be taken in order to heal those P.R. wounds. One idea, in her view, is reimbursements for transit riders. Troster pays us a visit in Hour 2. Plus, we talk about your health, as Ottawa’s Medical Officer of Health drops by for his bi-weekly visit!
