On Saturday, May 3 and Sunday, May 4, everyone rides for free on buses, trains, and Para Transpo!
OC Transpo is offering this free service weekend to show customers our appreciation and provide all residents and visitors with an opportunity to experience the New Ways to Bus network and O-Train Lines 1, 2 and 4.
Fare gates at O-Train stations will be open, and there’s no need to pay when boarding the bus. Para Transpo customers can book free trips by using My Para Transpo or calling 613-560-5000.
Free service hours of operation
3:00 am on Saturday, May 4 – 3:00 am Monday, May 5
Plus — on Saturday, May 3, stop by Hurdman Station between 10 am and 2 pm for a fun and interactive event. You’ll get to meet OC Transpo staff and learn about new services, customer experience improvements, safety initiatives, and more.
We have transformed our bus network and opened new O-Train lines, and want to give you the chance to explore the city. Where will you go? Plan your adventures using the Travel Planner or Transit (for Apple or Android), our preferred mobile app for Ottawa riders.
Grab a free coffee
On May 3 and 4, between 11 am and 1 pm, Happy Goat Coffee will be offering free coffee and oat-based drinks at all three of their in-station kiosks, including Blair, Hurdman, and Tunney’s Pasture. Be sure to stop by for a refreshing treat during your commute!
