Ottawa Now - A firsthand look at Wednesday's LRT snafu

March 12, 2026

In the wake of a menacing ice storm, Ottawa’s LRT faced a daunting test of survival. Unfortunately, Line 1 blinked, as an overhead cable snapped just before 1:30 Wednesday afternoon and forced the R1 bus fleet to take action. Sophie Vincent, who works at UOttawa, witnessed part of the incident from her office. Sofia Mandoli, a transit rider, was given permission by her bosses to head home early and outsmart Mother Nature. But unfortunately for her, this transit curveball spoiled that plan. Both join Kristy Cameron on Ottawa Now.
