OC Transpo will be offering free service on Canada Day and extending O-Train Line 2 and Line 4 service hours on July 1 and on Sundays during Ottawa Bluesfest. Transit Services general manager Renée Amilcar outlined the summer service changes in a memo to councillors Tuesday morning, which includes changes to service for major events. On Canada Day, service will be free all day on OC Transpo buses and O-Train Lines 1, 2 and 4. Amilcar says Line 1 will operate from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m., with enhanced frequency in the evening. Lines 2 and 4 will operate from 7 a.m. to 1 a.m., one hour longer than normal. Additional buses will supplement service levels “where needed,” Amilcar said. For Ottawa Bluesfest, service on O-Train Lines 1, 2 and 4 will be extended in the evening on Sundays to end at midnight. “Line 1 will operate with enhanced frequency in the evening on event days,” Amilcar said. “Additional buses will supplement service levels where needed.” Amilcar reminds people heading to Bluesfest that transit fares to and from the event are included with your ticket. Fans with tickets to Redblacks games will also have a transit fare included with the ticket to the game.
