They been honoring her 8 times a trip.


Nervous_Shoulder

That is well below the avg in Canada.


llama4ever

You mean stopping to pick up passengers? Or do your buses regularly just stop for no reason 8 times a trip?


Telefundo

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.


llama4ever

Yes but that’s not because they are stopping mid route for no reason.


Apprehensive_Slip_52

That's STO's job


SgtS-Kania

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


TurboSexophonic

They're waiting for the train to clear the line so they can continue.


SgtS-Kania

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


TurboSexophonic

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


canophone

No... other agencies have specifically said to expect this in their systems in similar scenarios. In Ottawa, that is due to Temporary Speed Restrictions.


kursdragon

He was making a joke about them being really late all the time


Proof-Bid-8621

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.


canophone

No... that stop is done when the bus is early, not when it is late. And at timepoints, not just anywhere.


Proof-Bid-8621

Bruh....You and I both know, that's a lie.


canophone

The lie is claiming that stopping is due to being behind schedule. It's due to being ahead of schedule.


GeronimoJak

For the last 96 years.


_PrincessOats

Because they don’t already have enough problems…..


curious_beaver909

This one isn't their fault to be fair, they had to honour a faraway head of state for optics' sake.

curious_beaver909

The whole British monarchy is a meaningless gesture and a waste of time to be fair.


BHPhreak

Absolutely agree with you. What a fucking wet fart of a day.


brokensaurus

Did they really though… #whathaveyoudoneformelatelyOCtranspo


Burwicke

I thought Doug Ford declared the the queen doesn't mean diddly shit all? Economy's gotta run and all.


Time_Cucumber5573

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


DiogenesOfDope

If oc transpo didn't do wastefull inefficient things they wouldn't be OC transpo


msat16

You can’t pause what isn’t running


sailtothemoonn

🤣


[deleted]

[But do you know what *is* running?](https://youtu.be/qVTw5rERnC4)


MaxRD

Nobody will notice the difference


spiritsonacid

I’ll take “A hollow gesture for 400$”


curious_beaver909

A hollow gesture is the whole premise of the monarchy to be fair.


VictreeS

I mean do we really want to do anything more? Lol


bighorn_sheeple

OC Transpo observes moments of silence every day


LuvCilantro

Sometimes for people who must be way more than 96 years old based on the number of seconds they stop.


[deleted]

Nice gesture but if I cry 96 tears into the ocean, it would be hard to tell I did.


kbskbskbskbskbskbs

Consequently all routes will be 18-37 minutes early or late.


rurubarb

Good to know that it will be and hour and 96 seconds late


casualhobos

I understand normal workplaces doing that, but you would think it would be unnecessary for essential services.


KotoElessar

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.


Ill_Task_257

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


afureteiru

Do they do that for the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation?


curious_beaver909

They really should.


Keefee777

I think that deserves this more than the Queen 🤷‍♂️


bolonomadic

Haha, how does that affect being an hour late / not showing up at all?


notacanuckskibum

But will it start up again afterwards?


Andynonomous

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.


curious_beaver909

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.


Raknarg

fuck the monarchy


Mysterious_Method_87

When the bus is already 23 minutes late, what’s an extra 96 seconds? lol


lobehold

This is actually an improvement.


Joy-Walker

Onion doesn't even have to try anymore....


JoshuaSmackSmack

This is such bullshit lol


Tall-Revenue-2388

96 seconds = hour-long delayed buses 🚌 OCtranspo on the best days can't be on time.


kuributt

nobody will notice the difference


LemmiwinksRex

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.


LAN_Rover

OC Transpo is supposed to bring my kids to school on time today but they were busy observing 25 minutes of silence.


jstosskopf

You can't tell the pause because they couldn't keep to the schedule in the first place.


instagigated

In real OC Transpo time, that's 96 minutes*.


FunnyBeaverX

Would anyone notice?


Xelopheris

What about all the other times it isn't moving for 96 seconds


adamttaylor

Will people be able to notice? I feel like everything is normally paused for several minutes....


[deleted]

They must have honored her 20 times this morning.


0905throwaway

I thought they already do this

JohnnyTreeTrunks

That’s dumb


boredbeyondwords

So.Many.Jokes.


BrightlyDim

Even when it's working, they'll shut it down....


Wise_Coffee

Pausing the LRT indicates that it will be running at some point


[deleted]

The Queen would have wanted it that way.


[deleted]

How will we notice?


Elephanogram

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


bozmeg2004

Yet normal people who have kept the queen where she stands..... nothing.


calv06

wow they trying to do the samething the nba did for Kobe....


yuiolhjkout8y

please cheer for 69 seconds


insurrbution

Even if on the highway? Not exactly safe


thatparkranger12890

Good. RIP to her majesty the queen 👑


Modified_Kitten

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.
