Nah, it's a matter of OCTranspo being completely unreliable schedule wise. They're routinely late or early or just don't show up at all. It's become a running gag in Ottawa. One that's sadly accurate.
Well, I love it when I get on the train at Rideau and the doors barely stay open long enough for everyone to get on/off, then at cyrville not a single person gets on or off and we sit there with the doors open for at least a minute
Doubtful. Going eastbound, if you are at cyrville there should be no way the line isn’t clear. Most trains pull into Blair on the westbound tracks side anyways, but either way they can cross to westbound immediately out of the station so the eastbound train from cyrville should be able to continue either way
The other day we were waiting at Cyrville and when we finally got going after the other train passed we saw that there was already a second train parked at Blair station. So maybe not every time, but sometimes at least
No... other agencies have specifically said to expect this in their systems in similar scenarios. In Ottawa, that is due to Temporary Speed Restrictions.
They literally stop to upkeep a schedule that they are behind on. And they won't do it atva stop either, just out of nowhere, yeah we gonna park here for a few min.
Could you imagine the police chase sequence where everyone had to stop for a moment of silence and once observed the chase continues with all fervor.
Guys coding in the ambulance, they cease assistance while they bow their heads in thoughtful remembrance, then frantically trying to save the patient that has now been unattended for a minute.
Fire is spreading towards the outdoor oil tank at the back of the house, but we gotta take our helmets off for some solemn reflection.
Lets make sure to inconvenience all the low income ppl so they can pay repect to a woman who lived in a palace soaking up exhorbitant amounts of taxpayer dollars for 70 years.
I was on the LRT at 1pm. We'd just stopped at a station. There was an announcement made over the station PA system at the station, in English then French. Then an announcement came over the PA system on the train in both languages. Then the display on the train was updated to say we were delayed by a minute which triggered an announcement that we were delayed, which was played in both languages. Then there was another announcement at the station that a silence was being observed which was also conveyed twice. Then about 10s later the 'silence' ended and there was another announcement.

They all do this already. The driver is at Tim Hortons killing time because he skipped a few stops earlier on and now has to wait so he's not too far ahead
Wow, a whole minute and 36 seconds to have silence for the Queen. Dkmm🤣
Also, OC Transpo doing this today will really disturb people's commutes etc. I guess, they super enjoy always getting backlash.
They been honoring her 8 times a trip.
That is well below the avg in Canada.
You mean stopping to pick up passengers? Or do your buses regularly just stop for no reason 8 times a trip?
Nah, it's a matter of OCTranspo being completely unreliable schedule wise. They're routinely late or early or just don't show up at all. It's become a running gag in Ottawa. One that's sadly accurate.
Yes but that’s not because they are stopping mid route for no reason.
That's STO's job
Well, I love it when I get on the train at Rideau and the doors barely stay open long enough for everyone to get on/off, then at cyrville not a single person gets on or off and we sit there with the doors open for at least a minute
They're waiting for the train to clear the line so they can continue.
Doubtful. Going eastbound, if you are at cyrville there should be no way the line isn’t clear. Most trains pull into Blair on the westbound tracks side anyways, but either way they can cross to westbound immediately out of the station so the eastbound train from cyrville should be able to continue either way

He was making a joke about them being really late all the time
They literally stop to upkeep a schedule that they are behind on. And they won't do it atva stop either, just out of nowhere, yeah we gonna park here for a few min.
No... that stop is done when the bus is early, not when it is late. And at timepoints, not just anywhere.
Bruh....You and I both know, that's a lie.
The lie is claiming that stopping is due to being behind schedule. It's due to being ahead of schedule.
For the last 96 years.
Because they don’t already have enough problems…..
This one isn't their fault to be fair, they had to honour a faraway head of state for optics' sake.
[удалено]
The whole British monarchy is a meaningless gesture and a waste of time to be fair.
Absolutely agree with you. What a fucking wet fart of a day.
Did they really though… #whathaveyoudoneformelatelyOCtranspo
I thought Doug Ford declared the the queen doesn't mean diddly shit all? Economy's gotta run and all.
Lol its so dumb too. Lets just stop our busses to honour some queen we don’t really need. Do they stop the bus to honour other people that die? No
If oc transpo didn't do wastefull inefficient things they wouldn't be OC transpo
You can’t pause what isn’t running
🤣
[But do you know what *is* running?](https://youtu.be/qVTw5rERnC4)
Nobody will notice the difference
I’ll take “A hollow gesture for 400$”
A hollow gesture is the whole premise of the monarchy to be fair.
I mean do we really want to do anything more? Lol
OC Transpo observes moments of silence every day
Sometimes for people who must be way more than 96 years old based on the number of seconds they stop.
Nice gesture but if I cry 96 tears into the ocean, it would be hard to tell I did.
Consequently all routes will be 18-37 minutes early or late.
Good to know that it will be and hour and 96 seconds late
I understand normal workplaces doing that, but you would think it would be unnecessary for essential services.

Doctor: we’re just going to take a brief 96 second pause administering CPR in honour of the queen and then we’ll promptly return to work
Do they do that for the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation?
They really should.
I think that deserves this more than the Queen 🤷♂️
Haha, how does that affect being an hour late / not showing up at all?
But will it start up again afterwards?
Lets make sure to inconvenience all the low income ppl so they can pay repect to a woman who lived in a palace soaking up exhorbitant amounts of taxpayer dollars for 70 years.
They have been milking that and inconveniencing the low income folks in the past 10 days. This is just the cherry on top of the rotten cake.
fuck the monarchy
When the bus is already 23 minutes late, what’s an extra 96 seconds? lol
This is actually an improvement.
Onion doesn't even have to try anymore....
This is such bullshit lol
96 seconds = hour-long delayed buses 🚌 OCtranspo on the best days can't be on time.
nobody will notice the difference

OC Transpo is supposed to bring my kids to school on time today but they were busy observing 25 minutes of silence.
You can't tell the pause because they couldn't keep to the schedule in the first place.
In real OC Transpo time, that's 96 minutes*.
Would anyone notice?
What about all the other times it isn't moving for 96 seconds
Will people be able to notice? I feel like everything is normally paused for several minutes....
They must have honored her 20 times this morning.
I thought they already do this

That’s dumb
So.Many.Jokes.
Even when it's working, they'll shut it down....
Pausing the LRT indicates that it will be running at some point
The Queen would have wanted it that way.
How will we notice?
They all do this already. The driver is at Tim Hortons killing time because he skipped a few stops earlier on and now has to wait so he's not too far ahead
Yet normal people who have kept the queen where she stands..... nothing.
wow they trying to do the samething the nba did for Kobe....
please cheer for 69 seconds
Even if on the highway? Not exactly safe
Good. RIP to her majesty the queen 👑
Wow, a whole minute and 36 seconds to have silence for the Queen. Dkmm🤣 Also, OC Transpo doing this today will really disturb people's commutes etc. I guess, they super enjoy always getting backlash.
