Line 2 delayed at South Keys Station, 1 platform operating
Trillium Line 2 is experiencing a switch issue at South Keys Station that is causing delays for travellers, the head of city's transit services said in a statement. The switch issue has taken one of two platforms out of service, forcing travellers to change trains at South Keys, Renée Amilcar, the General Manager of the transit services department, said in a memo to the mayor. "It is anticipated this will continue for the rest of the service day," The memo said. "This is a known issue with this switch that TransitNext was unable to resolve during the overnight hours yesterday." The memo warned customers to expect longer travel times on line 2, and that TransitNext "will continue the repairs tonight after service concludes." Line 2 is operating at its routine stations, and Line 1 and 4 are operating normally, the memo said.

Free transit in Ottawa for 1st weekend in May
OC Transpo and Para Transpo service will be free the first weekend in May to thank customers and encourage use after both the Trillium Line relaunch and a massive service overhaul set to take place earlier that week. The free rides May 3 and 4 were announced by Ottawa's transit general manager in a Friday morning memo. The announcement comes after the launch of the expanded north-south rail lines earlier this year and ahead of the April 27 rollout of the "New Ways to Bus" initiative, which is designed to realign service with Lines 2 and 4 and will change nearly every route. The changes will also reduce service by about 3.5 per cent compared to levels at the start of last spring, when the campaign launched amid budget constraints. The city's transit committee heard plans about an unspecified free transit weekend last week.
