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

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.
