Express bus routes will make fewer stops in the morning starting April 17 in an effort to get commuters downtown faster. Buses will still drop off passengers if they request a stop. Kanata, Stittsville, Richmond and Bells Corners routes will make drop-offs only from the Queensway to Westboro station. OC Transpo says customers who normally board express routes at these stations can use other routes. Express routes will continue to make all stops in the afternoon rush hour. There will be a few other tweaks to bus service as part of OC Transpo’s regular quarterly service changes. Kanata South residents will likely have less crowded buses starting April 17, said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley. Hubley sent out a press release to announce that he was successful in getting OC Transpo to add 11 more articulated buses on routes 61 and 66 during peak hours. That will add between 18 and 24 per cent more capacity during the morning and afternoon commutes, Hubley stated. “We will receive some of the first double-decker and new articulated buses as they are delivered,” Hubley stated. Commuters who work in Gatineau will be able to hop on the 96 bus to Kanata on the Quebec side of the river for a few afternoon rush-hour trips. Route 63 will be expanded to start earlier in Stittsville.
