Since the last Transit Commission meeting in June, there have been issues with Ottawa’s LRT system and some of OC Transpo’s double-decker buses. The next meeting isn’t scheduled until next month. Calls for an emergency gathering have been resisted by Mayor Watson and the Chair of the Transit Commission. City councillors and some transit users rallied outside City Hall on Wednesday, saying they can’t wait another month for their questions to be answered. Gloucester-South Nepean councillor Carol Anne Meehan and Capital Ward councillor Shawn Menard tell Kristy Cameron on Ottawa Now they share concerns that information is being hidden from council.
