Councillor wants OC Transpo to extend 90-minute transfer window as some riders charged twice on trips
A Barrhaven councillor wants to extend the transfer window for OC Transpo commuters, as construction and system reliability slow down travel times this summer. Some commuters have complained that their trip from the downtown core or Gatineau to Barrhaven on the O-Train and buses has exceeded the 90-minute transfer window, meaning they may be charged twice for a single trip. 'It is wrong in every way and that's the reason why I put forward a motion at the last Transit Commission for OC Transpo to fix this,' Coun. David Hill told Newstalk 580 CFRA's the Morning Rush with Bill Carroll Wednesday morning. Hill has introduced a motion at the Transit Committee to direct staff to review the 90-minute transfer window and 'present options as part of the comprehensive fare review to temporarily increase the transfer window.' Hill says there are a 'number of issues at play' that are contributing to the delays for transit riders. 'The first one being that there is a significant construction delay between Algonquin College and Tunney's Pasture for anybody that's on those routes. So that's a 15-minute, 20-minute addition depending on the time of the day and traffic that comes with circulation that affects routes,' Hill said. 'The second one is that we need more reliability out of Tunney's Pasture. If the buses come on time when they were supposed to be leaving Tunney's Pasture to get people back, then that last path that people need to make with their Presto card at Fallowfield Station or Marketplace Station would happen within that 90-minute window, but the reality is right now is it's not as reliable as we'd like it to be and we need that to improve.' Ottawa LRT The O-Train operates on Line 1 on Thursday, July 3, 2025. (Andrew Adlington/CTV News Ottawa) OC Transpo has a 90-minute transfer window from the time you tap a Presto Card, debit/credit card or pay a cash fare, while Gatineau's STO has a two-hour transfer window. The Toronto Transit Commission and Montreal's STM also have 120-minute windows for transfers. Hill says the New Ways to Bus system launched in the spring was designed to get people from Barrhaven to Tunney's Pasture 'super quick,' but construction and available buses are slowing down the commute. 'If the reliability of the system that was taking people from Tunney's back to Barrhaven at the end of the day was on point, such that we had the buses there when they were supposed to leave and not bunched up, so you get three-four buses, all arriving within 90 seconds, and then the next bus comes in 40 minutes,' Hill said. 'We just need the reliability of that routing coming out of Tunney's, that will address the root cause issue.' Hill tells Newstalk 580 CFRA customers that are charged twice on the same trip can apply for a refund. The councillor says he's had 'regular conversations' with staff about extending the transfer window, and is hopeful the issue will be resolved. In May, OC Transpo delivered 98 per cent of scheduled trips, with trips cancelled due to mechanical breakdowns on buses, not enough operators and on-street adjustments to service. Statistics showed 82 per cent of frequent routes were on-time in May. Transfer window Here is a look at the transfer window on other transit systems in Canada.
