- OC Transpo routes
-
OC Transpo is a public transit authority that operates about 139 bus routes (Sept. 2011) in the Ottawa-Gatineau region of Canada. It also operates the O-Train.
Overview
Route Colours
Black: These routes generally operate 7 days/week from about 6:00 AM-midnight Monday-Saturday, and from about 7:00 AM–11:00 PM on Sundays & most holidays. There are some exceptions, however. If a route, or a section of a route, doesn't operate during certain time periods, it will be in stripes on the bus stop flag, and gray on here. A route in orange on here means that it only operates during certain times, such as evenings or weekends only. Some routes provide early morning service as early as 4:00 AM on weekdays, and 5:00 AM on Saturdays. Ottawa's three major Transitway routes (routes 95, 96, and 97) also provide early morning service on Sundays. Route 95 operates 24 hours a day seven days a week, whereas route 97 operates 24 hours a day Mondays through Fridays. The fare on regular black routes is currently $3.25, or 2 bus tickets.
Red: These routes generally operate Monday through Friday from around 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM, and from around 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. They usually operate in one direction in the morning, and the opposite direction in the afternoon. The fare on the red routes is currently $3.25, or 2 bus tickets.
Green: These routes generally operate Monday through Friday from around 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM, and from around 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. All green routes travel towards downtown Ottawa in the AM, and towards the suburbs in the PM. Most green routes travel to suburban areas, but some of them also travel to rural areas. Rural express routes are noted on bus stop flags with an R after the bus route number. The fare on the green routes is currently $4.25, or 3 tickets, for routes that travel to suburban areas, and $5.25, or 4 tickets, for routes that travel to rural areas.
Blue: Blue is the color used to signify early morning service, (for example, route 97 does not travel along the Airport Parkway in the early morning). Before December 19, 2010, there were blue early morning only routes (route 891 was the last route providing this service). These routes formerly operated 5 days/week from about 4:00 AM to 6:00 AM. in one direction only. Routes 824, 825, and 830 also provided Saturday service from about 5:00 AM to 7:00 AM.
Route Numbers
OC Transpo classes its routes according to the following numerical groups:
1-19: These are mainline or local routes that operate to, from or through downtown along major roads or in urban communities.
20-79: These are peak period routes connecting downtown Ottawa to suburban areas, running towards downtown in the morning and to the suburbs in the afternoon. The 20s and 30s serve Ottawa East and Orléans, and require express fare (except route 24, which is regular fare). The 40s serve Ottawa South and require regular fare. The 50s used to serve Nepean at regular fare, but all have been replaced by extra service on other routes. The 60s serve Kanata and Bells Corners, requiring express fare (route 67 is an exception to this as it is a regular-fare route serving Arlington Woods). And the 70s are express routes serving Barrhaven.
80-89: Similar to routes 1-19, these are mainline routes that operate through downtown along major roads, spending more time on the Transitway. Routes 85, 86, and 87 are the three remaining routes providing such service. Peak routes 82 and 88 have been replaced.
90-99: These are rapid transit routes that go downtown, spending most of the time on the Transitway/Highway 417/Regional Road 174. Routes 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98 and 99 are currently the routes offering such service.
100-109: For the most part, these routes are peak-only routes (except routes 101 and 106) that provide service between a Transitway station and major employment areas. In the future, OC Transpo will be expanding their rapid transit service to have routes numbered from 100-109, which would bypass downtown. Routes 101, 102, and 106 are the first three routes to provide this service.
110-119: These are regular routes that travel cross-town, but bypass downtown.
120-199: These are mostly local routes that usually connect residential areas or business areas to Transitway stations. A few, such as routes 176 and 182, are cross-town routes. Some regular local routes continue to/from downtown during peak periods as an alternative to express service. This number range also includes a number of special rush hour routes that run in rush hour to connect major suburban and rural employment areas to the Transitway.
200-299: These are rural express routes serving areas beyond the 'Urban Transit Area'. Starting March 1, 2010, routes 261, 262, and 263 (serving Stittsville) are express routes rather than rural express.
300-399: These were special community routes. They were all cancelled effective September 4, 2011. Routes 306, 316 and 356 formerly existed.
401-406: These routes provide special service to/from Scotiabank Place for Ottawa Senators games and concerts, among other events.
500-599: These are rural service routes operated by partner bus lines (not OC Transpo).
600-699: These routes are special school routes. These routes are usually not shown on the bus stop flag except at Transitway stations, mall terminals, and on streets where no other bus service is available.
740: Route 740 is the O-Train replacement bus service if only one or no trains are available. The replacement buses only stop at the locations where the O-Train would usually stop.
800-899: These routes provided early morning service (before 6 AM) Mondays through Fridays (and some on Saturdays too). They were not shown as a number on the bus stop flag, but rather by a sun indicating the presence of early morning service at the stop. As of December 19, 2010, all early morning routes have been replaced by extra early morning trips on existing routes.
900-999: These are employee shuttles for OC Transpo employees only at times and places with no service (mostly overnight).
OC Transpo has recently created a business plan which calls for a lot of their routes to be combined together to reduce OC Transpo's operating costs. The plan calls for a complete overhaul of the route network city-wide. Most well used routes, such as rapid transit and express routes, will remain largely unchanged. The majority of changes comes from local and peak period service, which either serve areas already served by other routes, or ridership on such routes does not meet certain requirements. OC Transpo is also planning to overhaul the buses used on certain routes and replacing older, low-capacity models with new, higher-capacity, more fuel-efficient buses, until the new light rail line can be fully implemented.[1]
OC Transpo has since provided a list of routes which were combined with other routes, or dropped due to low ridership. The list of route changes was posted on OC Transpo's website. The posted changes were implemented effective September 4, 2011.[2]

Routes 60-66, 68, and 69 (serving Kanata and Bells Corners), routes 261-263 (serving Stittsville), and route 283 (serving Richmond and Munster Hamlet) do not pick up passengers between Queensway Station and Westboro Station.
