Ottawa Now - Carleton student's critique of OC Transpo wait times goes viral on Instagram

February 10, 2026

It’s the city-wide topic that keeps on giving. Last week, OC Transpo released a memo that revealed a decline in bus reliability, particularly during the last week of January. According to the latest data, the transit service missed 6 percent of its bus trips during the month's final 7 days, which is significantly higher than its 0.5 percent targets.
