Maya M. @cheesencrackrs.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Hey @helps.octranspo.com, Terminal bridge has reopened but the yellow "stop not in use" signage cover is still up at stop 1802. Just passed by on the bus and saw it. 300
Reposted by Maya M.Miranda Gray @mirgray.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Hey @helps.octranspo.com could you create unique messages on single car boarding for Tunneys Pasture and Blair stations? The "front of the train" message is misleading for the terminal stations. Try adding signage or saying "board at the far end of platform" or something. 121

Maya M. @cheesencrackrs.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Hi again @helps.octranspo.com Since the 90 is apparently back to its regular routing, PLEASE remove the service alert from the website. Most importantly, communicate it better to both operators AND riders. Those 'event' sticker signs on bus shelters can do a lot of good! 100
Maya M. @cheesencrackrs.bsky.social · 07/07/2026It appears the 90 has returned to regular routing. Ask me how I know? Not pleased that this is still up and I missed the bus because this stop has been out of service since Oct 2025!!! I check the service alerts page more often than most, so I'm disappointed. #OCTranspo #Ottawa 000

Maya M. @cheesencrackrs.bsky.social · 29/06/2026@helps.octranspo.com This service alert was updated again last week because the construction isn't done (🥲), and the #1569 addition to 90 Hurdman has been removed yet again. Given the cancellations/delays and overcrowding on the 88, this is the only option for a direct route to Hurdman. 1/2 100
Maya M. @cheesencrackrs.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Hey @helps.octranspo.com, has this detour ended? I have seen the 90 in both directions still using the detour (incl. yesterday) and there has been no post to suggest regular routing has resumed. Some signage at both the detour stops and regular routing stops would be appreciated. 100

Maya M. @cheesencrackrs.bsky.social · 03/03/2026Hey @helps.octranspo.com, I should have clarified my issue. There is an active service alert on the website for the 90 detour; however, 90 Hurdman buses are only intermittently stopping at # 1569. It's a challenge to use transit when the alert doesn't match the reality at a stop #OCTranspo 110
Maya M. @cheesencrackrs.bsky.social · 03/03/2026My saga with OC Transpo continues. Skip ahead to the part where the feasibility will be determined "later".

Maya M. @cheesencrackrs.bsky.social · 28/02/2026Hey @helps.octranspo.com, it's 7 degrees and these large sheets of ice are sliding further off the bus shelters at Hurdman. It is common for people to stand back there, it feels important to point these out again. And yes, I've called. Given I first mentioned it over a week ago, here we are. 341

Maya M. @cheesencrackrs.bsky.social · 20/02/2026Already submitted a ticket for this one, but photos always tell you the full story. The snow (now, likely ice) hanging over the back of the bus shelters at Hurdman extend several inches beyond the lip that appears made to prevent that. @helps.octranspo.com and yesterday was worse!

Maya M. @cheesencrackrs.bsky.social · 20/02/2026Hi @octranspo.com / @helps.octranspo.com, with all of the 88 cancellations, you REALLY have to consider adding stop 1569 to the detour on the 90 Hurdman. It zips by nearly empty while we wait 20+ mins for a bus packed from door to door. This federal project is supposed to span several more months! 110

Maya M. @cheesencrackrs.bsky.social · 16/01/2026Bringing this back because the detour is back. The roadway at #1569 is so poorly/not really plowed that buses can't pull into the curb cut. I walked 5 steps ON HERON ROAD to get on an overcrowded 88. Many cancellations + 90 Hurdman not stopping there... bad combo. @helps.octranspo.com 100
Maya M. @cheesencrackrs.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Hey @helps.octranspo.com, could you explain why this bus was 6 mins early and didn't take a timed stop? Not great for the people who will show up expecting the bus hasn't passed yet. 210
