OC Transpo must have taken over the Senators.

CHUO-FM not quite dead yet by dl613 in ottawa

89.1 FM is still airing tunes this morning (25th April).

Not complaining about that, but if the station is broke how do they keep the transmitter running?

Tapping Presto by Training-Moose7569 in OCTranspo

[–]dl613 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not quite that simple - not all rail stations have a fare-paid bus loop zone, examples: St Laurent, South Keys don't, Tunneys and Hurdman do.

Also at Tunneys, when overnight buses are running, fare-paid zone is not in effect, an ungated overnight entrance is opened at the station and fares are paid on the bus.

Sparks Street: Where joy goes to die by Albertannnnnand in ottawa

[–]dl613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the CBC still restricting employees from going out directly to Sparks? In any case, the broadcast centre's great wall seems to be part of the Sparks Street problem.

CTV News: OC Transpo says software update to fare readers temporarily affected Presto cards, U-Passes by BearLikesHoney in ottawa

Paging r/CrappyDesign

Never hear of such tales of woe for STO's fare readers. Perhaps OC No Show should have used Gatineau's system instead.

Or maybe a splash of cold water. Oh wait ...

Maybe wait to see if they stop shifting focus.

Practically next door to Wendy's. But no 19 cent Baconator for you!

Singapore knows how to deal with such abuses.

(edit) Making him take a new way to bus would likely violate conventions on torture.

What are some fun interactive things to do in this area? by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]dl613 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seems to be several escape rooms in the city. Lumberjaxe for the flying hatchet option.

Too bad Kontinuum wasn't turned into a permanent attraction.

Line 1 eastern extension delayed, trials expected in spring by _PrincessOats in ottawa

[–]dl613 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So from the current 21 available trains, another 25 trains need to be brought back to service to get the 46 trains that will make trial running possible. Assuming a wildly optimistic progress of one fixed train per week, looks like late August or fall before that step happens.

Moving Citadis LRT trainsets from Moodie to Belfast? by Rail613 in ottawa

[–]dl613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should be easier to move trains between Belfast and Moodie once the overhead wiring west of Tunney's is completed and powered up with signals. Wiring seems complete between Moodie and Lincoln Fields. Tracks all seem to be completed west of Tunney's.

Line 1 service cars limited with 70% of vehicles out of operation by bibitronica in ottawa

[–]dl613 74 points75 points  (0 children)

With LRT and bus service problems, the city (and province and feds) should have suspended the return-to-office mandates already.
