Councillors Blocking OC Transpo Reforms

Ottawa’s auditor general slams city councillors for blocking OC Transpo’s efforts to improve bus reliability, revealing that even public surveys can’t override councillors’ objections — a pattern also seen in park projects. Transit unions back the audit, urging professionals to lead operations, while some councillors defend their role as local advocates, denying outright veto power. The report also exposes outdated schedules, cost-cutting route changes that misled riders, and a staggering $5 million spent annually on redundant bus routes parallel to trains — forcing tough choices: prioritize reliability or frequency without risking service cuts or deeper investment.
