For a suburb, Orleans used to be Transit Central. At least for trips to downtown Ottawa.
Even many senior executives in the public service would take OC Transpo to work.

I'm not surprised really. It used to be one trip on the same bus all the way downtown. Now it's one or two busses to get to Blair. Up and down the stairs or that tiny elevator to get to the train. Then the train. It takes considerably longer than it used to. My sense is that once the train runs to Trim some Orleans commuters will return but until then time = money and they're better off taking their chances with driving than transit.
