I haven't tried the Presto card yet - I wasn't living in Ottawa when they first handed them out to "friends and family" - I worked in a contract position for a consulting company that did some work for OC a couple if years back - and I have knowledge of the countdown process - which is where my original anger came from. No one would even try to improve countdown, and yes - buses went out without fuel. That was infuriating.
The truth is that the vast majority of OC Transpo employees are good, honest, hard workers who take pride in doing their job and they do it well There is, however, a sizable group of malcontents with an attitude of entitlement who not only try to do as little as possible and they tend to infect others with the same mentality. One bad apple can spoil the barrel...
I can't say for certain, as I don't work for OC, but I do believe the majority is done over night. I do believe some are done during the day but not as much as overnight but could be mistaken.
Lastly, I wanted to say that the people of Ottawa - including members of the press - have made OC Transpo bashing a popular pastime and I am usually the first to step up and defend them, so I must have been having a bad day when I made those negative comments.
Sorry - OC Transpo. And it is funny that you find the Sun to be particularly hard on OC Transpo but I find the Citizen to be the most anti-OC Transpo paper in the city!
chauferette specialle ..... a l"ectriciter lol , what he means is a plug it and its turns the wabasto on so the bus is burning fuel witout even moving lol !! Work CD and get gassed up by bus exhaust everyday especilly the webasto burn raw unfiltered exhaust and are not efficent due to lack of maintennce! , noticed his regen/webasto switch was not turned off ..........lol
I'm only going by what the vid was given to me to post. Whether every thing in the vid actually happens I can't answer that as I stated before in my other vids I don't work for OC.
Well first off I don't work for OC TRANSPO. Second this vid was video taped by a city councilor, Mathieu Fleury which I'ved used by permission. As the nap part I can't comment on that as I don't work at OC or part of the "countdown. As for buses running out of fuel again I don't work at OC so not sure why buses sometimes run out of fuel.
But like you, I am a regular user of OC Transpo, and I find I am often trying to defend the majority of the good people that work there to the average citizen who, without any real reason to, have developed a deep hatred for OC Trams
Further, I wouldn't have a problem with the Prestro Card, if they would automatically deduct the valoe from my pay check like they do with the Ecopass, but there won't do it that way. I would have a problem even if I had to pay full value like the regular pass holders, OH well it wqas fun while it laqsted I guess come OCT I'll be using the Prestro Card..
I think he meant when pick up the bus from the garage. As for on street services "No Delays"? Yeah right!! Tell me another one!!! I don't think so, how many delays can you count in a day or cancelled trips!!!
You forgot to mention the part about the naps you countdown guys take. And, if you fuel the bus every night, why do buses run out of fuel before the afternoon rush? I've seen that happen.
No prob.Your in tiled to your views. True some at OC may be as you explained in your comment, but most our good.As for the media & citizens of Ottawa, well they too are intiled to their views, but for some reason the Sun Media seems to have it IN! for OC? As to why I don't know.The thing is you'll always have thosae no matter what OC does you'll have negative views. Heck even myself who's a bus fan & OC supporter, hate the new Prestro Card. Presently have a ECOPASS witch saves me money.
Like I said I don't work for OC, so I don't know what their policy is if someone gets sick on the bus. But with Covid-19 I'm guessing they take the bus out service to do a through cleaning to prevent spread of possible Covide-19.

Nice video! Well the only OC Transpo garage that I love in the city of Ottawa, is St.Laurent blvd and Belfast road.
One of my favorite OC Transpo videos

Like my bus novabus is 51 Tunney's Pasture Cleans No good 😭😓😥🥺
I don't think they clean the buses as good as they used to OC Transpo is changed a lot in 10 years

Jumping between English and French, how Ottawa of you
WOW. very interesting!
I'm not sure? I didn't record this vid, It was filmed by a city councilor, which I used by permission.

Like the bus cleans 😓😥😭 no Please
Please accept my apology. My previous comment, though true, was inappropriate even if you did work for OC Transpo. I was out of line. I'm sorry.

TOPPS TYPE O that should say I wouldn't have a problem paying full price for the Prestro monthly pass.
The New flyer D60LFR 2010 are now populare with the D60LF 2008-2009.
The seats are more comfortable, as well as the lighting is better.
Balls, u ever take an articulated bus ? Its May and dirt from the winter is still on the floors

@0:50 why was he so damn sketch when he stares into the camera and says "no bus delays at all".

the presto is bad the sto bus pass is baider
What a pile of baloney!
As I don't work for OC I can't comment if this actually happens or not? I'm assuming it does. I got the vid courtesy of a city concoulkier.
mcibus2000 I did, worked as a driver for 25 years.
Thanks. Interesting? So what he's saying doesn't actually happen that way but different way then?
Don’t only losers ride the OC Transpo?
I would say that some have no option, like myself do to my visual disability.
