New Ways to Bus is coming to Ottawa in 2024!

Frequent. Local. Connected.

Later this year, OC Transpo will launch a new bus network, focused on frequency, local service in your neighbourhood, and connections to O-Train Lines 1 and 2 and key destinations.

This new bus network of more than 100 routes will ensure that our city has a sustainable network that meets the evolving needs of our customers.

New Ways to Bus is about responding to changes in customers’ travel needs and ridership levels. It will significantly change OC Transpo’s bus network and is a big step towards meeting our service reliability target of 99.5 per cent.
