PODCAST: The Daily Review for Mon. March 2nd, 2026

If you are betting money to get somewhere at a certain time, which transit commutes aren’t worth the gamble in Canada’s Capital? All week long, CTV Ottawa is putting that question to the test, hitting the O-Train and giving every single bus route a test drive. But this experiment isn’t just restricted to bus routes. It also includes Para Transpo routes, which are heavily relied upon by the people who use them. Has the overall experience gotten better or worse in recent years? More importantly, how can we help solve the problems they are facing today? Kyle Humphrey, a community advocate for better accessibility, is a Para Transpo customer himself. He joins Kristy Cameron on today’s Ottawa Now.

Ottawa Now - The struggles that Para Transpo riders face in 2026

Over the course of the next few months, more and more federal workers will be returning to federal government offices. Line 1 of Ottawa’s LRT still has plenty of problems that need fixing. The next stage of LRT still hasn’t been launched yet. Ottawa’s bus fleet is feeling the burn. And if you drive a car, you might have to deal with a lot more than just high gas prices, as more and more people complain about their crappy commute times. So which transit commutes are the least reliable? CTV Ottawa is putting that question to the test all week long, from every single OC Transpo and Para Transpo bus route to the rails of the O-Train. Laura Shantz, a Board Member with Ottawa Transit Riders, gets the conversation started on today’s Ottawa Now.
