@Shane Map updated above

Hi @Antoine. Very interesting ideas in your latest map. As there has been some issue surrounding related topics recently, I would ask if you can re-post the map without the City of Ottawa logo appearing. Thank you for your understanding.

Any thoughts/comments on my most recent fantasy (still realist) transit map?

Both parking of bikes and cars have free and paid tiers. Maybe gold permit pass holders should have a cozy sheltered parking space? After all, the paid tier of a gold permit vs paid bike parking many times more expensive for the reasons you mentioned below (road repair). Charging for any parking, car or bike, is not a good way to incentivize anyone to mix up their commute. Imagine paying X amount/month for a car or bike, then have to pay for parking, and then have to pay bus fare for a system not even good thanks things like "optimization" and RTG's terrible start to Line 1 and what not.

Although this is a great initiative, it pales in comparison to Vancouver's bike parkades with capacity for 45 bikes and services such as repair stands and air pumps. TransLink has 11 of these and seem to be expanding the program. They also have bike lockers (individual lockers) at around 30 stations. https://www.translink.ca/rider-guide/bike-parking I'm hoping the program expands in Ottawa to include more urban stations where biking is more common. The stretch from Tunney's to Lincoln Fields would get very high usage I'm sure. And if we're charging for the secu

Keep your bike safe with the Bikesecure parking program On January 1, register to keep your bike safe with OC Transpo's new Bikesecure parking program! This program provides customers with a reserved parking spot in a shelter that protects their bikes against theft, vandalism and bad weather. These shelters are secured with glass walls, a door, and 24-hour video surveillance. Customers can unlock the shelter to access their bikes 24/7 using the key fob they receive after registering. Don't worry! Free bike parking is still available at most O-Train Line 1 stations, and at over 3

I just want to say that this set of snapshots is among the best night photos I have ever seen. They are so clear we don't have to guess what we are looking at. Thanks to Derek for these outstanding pictures!

Since 1999, I have known that buses were used for the first time in 1924, with them presumably being retired the following year. With records of buses being used in later years, I have found out that two bus routes began operating in 1929 Crosstown - Began operating on January 7, 1929. Numbered route 6 on June 29, 1959. Renumbered 56 on April 23, 2017. Templeton - Began operating on May 18, 1959. Replaced by route 4 on September 28, 1959.

Video has been posted. Here's what I was able to get as apart of the demolition.

Correct. Confirmed retired units are all 02XX and 0304. Last saw an 02 (0201) on March 3rd, 2020

@Loud-Invero mentioned on the CPTDB at he has a retirement list for the 02-03 LFSes.

We visited the site of the future Queensview station today. Other than construction fencing, absence of trees and dirt, not much to report. We didn't think it was worth taking pics. At Pinecrest I think there was a pile driver between the westbound on ramp and the Queensway, but that was it.

Good afternoon and Happy New Year to all. Rail Fans (www.railfans.ca), more specifically O-Train Fans (https://www.railfans.ca/otrain/snapshot) has been taking Snapshot Updates (regular photo updates) of the various stations under construction of the O-Train. I am happy to announce that you can now share your Snapshots for the ongoing construction in Montreal (REM), Toronto (Crosstown and Finch West) as well as Vancouver (SkyTrain Broadway Subway). Both members of the Rail Fans forums as well as the public (guests) can submit without needing to register. Check it out: https://www.rai

Trillium Line Trench Widening Notice of Construction December 2020 As part of the Stage 2 O-Train Trillium Line South Extension Project, work has begun to prepare the trench between Highway 417 and Beech Street for rock excavation. Due to Ministry of Transportation requirements to protect the 417 structures in the area, crews are not able to use controlled detonations to break up the rock. Instead, they will weaken the rock by drilling int
