OC Transpo garage evacuated after smoke seen coming from inactive bus
The OC Transpo garage on St. Laurent Boulevard was briefly evacuated after smoke was seen coming out of an out-of-service bus. (Maddison De Varennes/CTV News Ottawa) OC Transpo says its south end garage had to be evacuated after smoke was seen coming from a bus awaiting maintenance Sunday afternoon. A statement sent to city councillors from general manager of transit services Renée Amilcar says smoke was observed from the out-of-service diesel bus inside the garage on St. Laurent Boulevard at approximately 12:25 p.m. The incident prompted a heavy response from firefighters and emergency services. 'OC Transpo's Special Constables safely evacuated staff and Ottawa Fire Services cleared the garage to resume operations shortly before 1:00 p.m.,' Amilcar said. Two staff members were assessed at the scene by paramedics, Amilcar says. An Ottawa paramedics spokesperson said crews were on standby during the incident and no one was taken to hospital. An investigation is underway to determine the cause. Ottawa police closed Belfast Avenue at St. Laurent Boulevard as emergency services responded to the scene. The roads have since reopened.

Hong Kong seems as stressed as ever in 2025, highlighted by my own ‘Bus Uncle' incident
Being scolded on a bus by a fellow passenger had not been on my agenda last weekend, but that is exactly what happened. A woman behind me had taken umbrage with my apparent slowness at boarding – except I had been waiting for the family ahead of me, who seemed confused about whether they wanted that bus. This led to my own hesitation, as I was not about to board first if they were actually going to get on – the Brit in me recoiled at coming across as a queue-jumper. Regardless, the woman berated me for looking at my phone and 'having my head in the clouds' before storming off to the upper deck, leaving a miasma of angry disapproval in her wake. Obviously, I proceeded to post about it on my Instagram stories, because I found it funny that this woman was flipping out over nothing – did we not, in the end, both still get on the bus? And, despite my clear and blatant disregard for her time, was her journey not still unimpeded? The episode brought to my mind a far older, more well-known bus incident. Nearly two decades ago, a rather put-out 'uncle' was filmed sounding off against a fellow passenger on a public bus in Hong Kong. Much of what he said cannot be published in this newspaper, but a few of his choice sentences – such as 'You have stress, I have stress!' and 'It's not settled!' – have since become catchphrases in the city.
