“The mayor’s office has reached out to say that they are planning to reimburse Carleton students and uOttawa students the cost of the December portion of the U-Pass cost,” said Tim Gulliver, the University of Ottawa Students’ Union president.
LRT
There I was, sitting in a dark basement in a fold-up chair, gazing into a webcam placed at an angle so low that, if it actually boasted of good camera quality, would be able to serve as a scope of my nostrils.
Following the two-year anniversary of Ottawa’s Light Rail Transit system, some recent issues with the system have the public — including students — concerned for the future.
Sonder is the humbling realization that, despite all your efforts to master the main character cocktail, everyone is the main character of their own lives.
Here’s a meme about the LRT to get you over your case of the Mondays!
“DIN–DIN–DIN–DING!” said the Confederation Line.
OC Transpo’s notification system for when issues appear on the city’s new LRT line isn’t always the fastest, but fear not: A local software programmer has developed a website to keep Ottawa commuters in the loop, in real-time.
“I also want to reassure residents that these LRT issues are being taken extremely seriously. Finding solutions to these problems continues to be the number one priority at City Hall,” said Mayor Jim Watson in a press release.
Inside the pros and cons of the new LRT and service changes to OC Transpo bus routes.
After six years of construction and four major delays, Ottawa’s largest transportation project since the Rideau Canal is finally complete. We rode the rails on opening day and heard early evaluations of the new system.
OC Transpo is cutting or merging 86 bus routes next month, which will make commuters even more dependent on the smooth functioning of the transportation system.
O-Train Confederation Line has 13 stations, including one stop on the University of Ottawa campus and another at the Rideau Centre.
The region has undergone a building boom as the city contends with a tight rental market, a growing tourism industry, and an overloaded transit system.
The unassuming consortium won the bid to build the new line back in 2012 to an unspectacular public reaction. However, look behind the curtain, and the RTG’s past starts to catch up to it.
When it opens, students can expect to see artwork while waiting for the LRT.
What we saw was astounding. We found loads of professional-grade concert speakers set up all over the site, hooked up to one guy’s laptop playing “Epic Construction Ruckus Medley—10-hour Version” on YouTube.
On Monday, Sept. 10, John Manconi, the head of OC Transpo, shared with city councillors the news that the opening of the LRT Confederation Line has been delayed to 2019.
Ozturk’s recent study, “An optimization model for freight transport using urban rail transit,” published in the European Journal of Operations Research examines how freight on transit (FOT), the practice of transporting freights using the public transit network, could be optimized in countries in order to eliminate greenhouse gases.
The novel is set in a near-future Ottawa in which corporations are phasing out the public sector, and conspiracies abound. Following the death of the CEO of the titular Omphalos Corporation, Detective Beldon seeks to find the killer, driven by a suspicion that the company is connected to the events of the previous novel.
In the long run the most environmentally sustainable option is to have efficient and effective mass transit that encourages residents of Ottawa to leave their cars at home. The City has already said that it plans on dismantling part of the platform when it will no longer be needed and allowing the site to revert back to greenspace.
No workers injured in the accident at LRT eastern entrance On the morning of April 26 emergency responders were on the scene near the University of Ottawa, as the cab of a construction crane fell sideways near the eastern entrance of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) at Waller Street and Laurier Avenue. According to Rideau …
The CBC reported that the workers “sought shelter in a safe zone underground” until they were rescued by firefighters. Two of the workers are unharmed, while one suffered a minor hand injury.
While construction of the new light rail transit (LRT) campus station might be inconvenient for commuters, it also introduces a new set of challenges for the University of Ottawa Faculty of Science’s Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) facility, which houses millions of dollars of research equipment.
On Feb. 10 it was announced by OC Transpo that, effective April 24, the transitway between Laurier and Lees, which includes Campus Station, will be closed temporarily due to construction on the new light rail transit (LRT) system. This wouldn’t be too much of an issue, if it weren’t for the fact that final exams …
OC Transpo has announced that the lower level of Lees Station will be closed, and transit between Hurdman and Lees Stations will be halted due to light rail transit (LRT) construction. The closures will start on Dec. 20, and could affect the daily commute of hundreds of students.
