Putting the Train into Service

• RTG anticipates turning over the system to the

City by November 2, 2018

• Once the City accepts the system, OC Transpo

has a number of complex activities to complete before putting the light rail system into service

• The City anticipates service will start in

November 2018, as long as RTG achieves its requirements.

• Bus routes across the entire OC Transpo network are being

transformed to provide connections to the O-Train Confederation Line.

• Changes are being implemented gradually leading up to and

• Customers will be able to use the Ready for Rail Travel

Planner on octranspo.com to plan their trips in 2018.

• Information on upcoming changes will be released through

many customer communication channels.
