Ottawa Transit Riders

The Ottawa Transit Riders used to love Twitter-X for its ability to rally like-minded people to our pro transit cause; however, the new X is not the old Twitter-X & we have decided that we no longer want to support this platform. We are freezing this account as of September 2024

Mayor Sutcliffe reached out to Council colleagues today, acknowledging the proposed increase to seniors' bus passes has caused a strong (negative) reaction. A solution is being sought and will be addressed via a motion at the Transit Commission next Monday.
