OC Transpo

[Richard Eade]

That is very true, phil235. Terrible service is not attractive for riders.

However, IF OC Transpo can actually provide 99.5% (and that’s still about 300 cancelled runs each day), then that is an improvement. I can look at the schedule and have 99.5% confidence that an average bus/train will arrive on schedule. Of course, in reality, most of the canceled trips will be from the most frequent/popular routes – so those routes will have less than 99.5% chance of coming when scheduled.

I am happy that things are improving, reliability-wise. But as you point out there is a LONG way to go before the service is considered ‘Good’ by many people’s standards.
