OC Transpo users have renewed concerns about whether Ottawa’s LRT system has enough staff to keep trains running reliably. During the Victoria Day Weekend, O-Train service on Lines 1 and 4 was shut down for several hours, with management citing a staffing shortage of controllers as the primary reason for the shutdown. Riders, as a result, had to take replacement buses. In the days that followed, the union representing transit workers says Lines 1 and 4 are ‘consistently understaffed’, fearing that the problem could only get worse if nothing is done. In today’s edition of CFRA Weekends, Andrew Pinsent checks in with Rikki MacMullin, a member of Better Transit Ottawa.
