April 21, 2026
O-Train Line 1 service will start at noon, instead of 8 am, on Sunday, April 26.
For customers, this means that on Sunday, April 26:
- R1 replacement bus service will run from 8 am to noon between Tunney’s Pasture and Blair stations.
- Shuttle bus service will run between St-Laurent and Cyrville stations, and between Lees Station and Mackenzie King Bridge.
- Full O-Train Line 1 service will resume between Tunney’s Pasture and Blair stations by noon.
This service adjustment is required for testing and commissioning of software updates for the O-Train East Extension. This work will help to advance the expansion of fast and frequent O-Train service for customers in the east end of the city.
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.
