Get Back on Board this fall: key OC Transpo information

For many people in Ottawa, the month of September marks a time of change. Alongside changes in leaf colours and temperature, students and workers across the city are preparing to return to their regular fall routines.

OC Transpo is also preparing to welcome you back on transit with increased bus service on key routes across the city so you can work, study, and ride into the fall with ease. When planning your commute this fall, remember:
