View descriptionShare
 

As federal public servants and private sector employees face increasing pressure to return to the office, Ottawa commuters are paying some of the highest transit costs in Canada, with OC Transpo charging $138.50 a month for an adult transit pass. Add it all together over 12 months, and an adult rider will be spending $1,662 CAD per year on public transit. Even if you’re just travelling one-way, you’re looking at $4.10 per single ride – the 4th-most expensive municipal transit system in all of Canada. So when it comes to your transit commute, how much money are you spending? CFRA’s Kristy Cameron and Mitch Kedrosky get things rocking and rolling in Hour 1. Plus, as we look ahead to Ottawa’s 200th birthday party, CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent tees up what he’s got cooking this weekend. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
