Ottawa’s LRT system began operating a reduced service on Friday, one of several changes the city’s public transit agency is implementing as ridership tanks during the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Starting March 27, trains on the east-west Confederation Line will arrive less frequently: every six to eight minutes during peak travel periods and every 10 to 16 minutes at all other times on weekdays and weekends.
On top of that, the end time for Friday service is getting cut back an hour. Normally, the light-rail train runs until 2 a.m.
on Saturday; now, it will only run until 1 a.m. Apart from that, the start and end times for daily train service will remain the same.
