2022 Ottawa Municipal Election

Chris Fraser running in Orleans West-Innes Ward was interviewed on CFRA this afternoon. One of his statements was that we need to reduce bus frequency in order to improve reliability. Specifically, he mentioned that 15 frequency should be reduced to 30 minute frequency as a method to make sure that a bus was available on time. While I understand the intent, further reduction in frequency (which will substantially increase waits at transfer stations), will make for longer trip times on average and have a negative effect on the customer experience. We need to be improving frequency particularly on key bus routes.
