OC Transpo, formally known as Ottawa-Carleton Regional Transit Commission is the urban transit service for the Ottawa region of Ontario. Some routes enter the city of Gatineau, Quebec during peak hours.


OC Transpo provides a regular (accessible and non-accessible) bus service, a para-transit service (Para Transpo), and a light-rail train service (O-Train).
'''Ottawa-Carleton Regional Transit Commission''' commonly known under the name of OC Transpo provides public transit service for the residents of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.


==History==
==History==
On August 1st, 1972, OC Transpo took over the Ottawa Transportation Commission (OTC) in order to expand it's services throughout neighboring cities. In early 1973, the commission revealed their new livery, giving them a distinctive red and white livery to the their ever growing fleet of buses. They also added 11 km of dedicated bus lanes. The commission continued to grow and provide improvements and in 1974 lauched a para-transit service, offering a door to door service for people suffering from various disabilities, and this such service was named Para Transpo in 1981.
Ottawa-Carleton Regional Transit Commission was formed in 1973 when they took over service from the Ottawa Transportation Commission.


In 1976, 2 new systems were introduced, the first people the start of exact fare aboard buses (tested in 1974, during the evening routes only, expanded to regular routes in 1976), and the launch of the monthly pass, giving a user who purchases it, to have unlimited access to the bus through the valid month. In order to gain ridership and popularity, OC Transpo started offering Sunday service on some of it's routes and launched an automated telephone schedule system on 560 east-end bus stops, which later was expanded to all stops in 1981.

The launch of the Proof of Payment in 1982 was introduced in 1982, the same year as the purchase of 21 GM New Look articulated buses. and a new fare structure, to encourage use of the system all day was launched in 1987. In 1998, a face-lift to the livery of the buses was done. Dubbed as the KFC livery, for the resemblance to the KFC colors, came the same year as the purchase of the first low-floor series, providing wheelchair accessible service throughout the network.

In 2000, a pilot project was launched, The O-Train (officially started service in 2001) is a light-rail train service connecting key parts of Ottawa. Though a pilot project, the line has been kept running because of disagreements and political deadlock with the city council. 2009 marked the year, OC Transpo launched 24 hours service on Route 95 Orléans & Trim, a first in Canada.
Other projects and service improvements launched by the commission include;
* Schedules and route maps were installed at bus stops to inform riders (1983).
* Introduction of a color coding system for bus routes (1983).
* Major changes made to downtown service, coinciding with the opening of 2 large malls (1983).
* 15 buses converted into propane powered buses, a study introduced by the Federal Government (1984).
* Voted for best Large transit system in North America by APTA (1987).
* Annual student pass is introduced. (1998).
* First articulated New-Flyer buses are purchased (2001).
* Bio-Diesel is introduced (2007).
* Testing of Hybrid diesel-electric Orion VII buses (2008).
* Trial of Double-decker buses (2009).
On February 22 2012, OC Transpo General Manager Alain Mercier was terminated from his position immediately and to be replaced by City of Ottawa Councillor John Manconi.
===Transitway===
The transitway is a bus-only dedicated lane. Conception of the plans for this transitway were started in 1978. The first portion of the transitway opened between Lees and Hurdan, and Lincoln Fields and Baseline in 1983, along with the opening of the Billings Bridge Terminal. Downtown service was changed because the bus-only lane near the Rideau Mall was opened up to traffic.In 1984, 3 new stations were integrated into the transitway; LeBreton, Tunney's Pasture and Westboro, with the opening of the new portion of the transitway between LeBreton and the Ottawa River Parkway (renamed Dominion Station). The transitway between Hurdman and St. Laurent stations, including the tunnel below the St-Laurent Shopping center was introduced in 1987 and the frequency of Route 95 Orléans & Trim was increased to 4 minutes at rush hours and 5 minutes off rush hour. Between St. Laurent and Blair, was completed in 1989. The whole transitway, approved in the plan of 1978 was completed in 1996.

Transitway

The Transitway is a bus rapid transit system that uses a bus only dedicated lane. Conception of this bus rapid transit system started in 1978. The first portion was opened from Lees to Hurdman and from Lincoln Fields and Baseline in 1983. In 1984, 3 new stations were added to the Transitway; LeBreton, Tunney's Pasture and Westboro along with a new portion of the Transitway opened between LeBreton and the Ottawa River Parkway, which was renamed to Dominion Station.

In 1987, the Transitway between Hurdman and St-Laurent stations, including the tunnel below the St-Laurent Shopping Centre. Route 95 saw its frequency increased to 4 minutes at Rush Hours and to 5 minutes at all other times. The whole Transitway was completed in 1996.
