Too much to tell to fit into a small space.

[Lorne Anderson @Lorne_Anderson]

@OC_TranspoHelps @OC_Transpo @_MarkSutcliffe Wouldn't it make sense to fix the announcement? Or turn it off? It was the same thing a couple of weeks ago. Being aware is not a fix.

[Lorne Anderson @Lorne_Anderson]

@OC_Transpo @OC_TranspoHelps @_MarkSutcliffe New management, same old story. At Limebank Station the continuing announcement is to board the train at Platform 2 - which is closed. Waiting 20 minutes for a train on 12 minute service. This is the OC Transpo we have come to expect.

[Lorne Anderson @Lorne_Anderson]

@_MarkSutcliffe Certainly haven't so far

[Lorne Anderson @Lorne_Anderson]

@_MarkSutcliffe I'll believe it when I see it. Four years after you promised that fixing transit was a priority service is worse. Or maybe it is only a priority in election years.

[Lorne Anderson @Lorne_Anderson]

@_MarkSutcliffe @CdnTulipfest Too bad the train was broken. Ruined the good impression.

[Lorne Anderson @Lorne_Anderson]

@OC_Transpo @OC_TranspoHelps @_MarkSutcliffe 59 minutes Bayview to South Keys. No explanation. Then the #90 Durbin a minute doesn't show. Had to cancel a meeting. My guests are unlikely to use Ottawa Public Transit every again. And the response from the mayor and is silence.

[Lorne Anderson @Lorne_Anderson]

@_MarkSutcliffe I may die of old age before the train I am on gets from Bayview to South Keys. 45 minutes and counting. I don't care who is in charge, just stop the excuses and fix the system. You promised results, you have made things worse.

[Lorne Anderson @Lorne_Anderson]

@OC_Transpo @OC_TranspoHelps Half an hour to get from Bayview to Carleton on the train. Might have been faster to walk. Are there really technical problems, or does OC Transpo just slow things down so they don't have to run as many trains? So much for the new guy fixing things

[Lorne Anderson @Lorne_Anderson]

@OC_Transpo Love the ghost trains! "The line 2 train southbound to Limebank is arriving" "The line 2 train southbound is departing." Any chance of some real trains at Bayview station anytime soon?

[Lorne Anderson @Lorne_Anderson]

@Nwfey90 @jk_rowling A dictionary entry under humour, sense of, might be useful here. Apparently Ms. Rowling is not permitted to have one.

@OC_Transpo @octranspolj South Keys. When. I arrived northbound trains were due in 7 and 18 minutes. The annoucment of a northbound train came about ten minutes later. The. The screens blacked out. Train arrived about 20 minutes after I got there. My 30 minute commute in 2019 is again more than an hour

[Lorne Anderson @Lorne_Anderson]

@OC_Transpo @octranspolj Gotta love the newest service improvement: Phantom trains. The speakers announce a train arriving at the platform but the train doesn't come. What a great innovation!

[Lorne Anderson @Lorne_Anderson]

@OC_TranspoHelps Last station announcement I heard was for a train that didn't arrive. Explain to me again why I should listen to you?

[Lorne Anderson @Lorne_Anderson]

@_MarkSutcliffe Hwy Mark, like many people I voted for you because you were going to fix the transit issues. Today I had a bus not come and have been standing at Bayview for half an hour for an eastbound train. Tell me why I should vote for you again?

[Lorne Anderson @Lorne_Anderson]

@_MarkSutcliffe You should have stayed there for the evening - it would have been nice to catch up.

[Lorne Anderson @Lorne_Anderson]

@canstrongfree What do I have to do to get off of your email lists? Clicking unsubscribe on multiple occasions didn't work. Sending an email didn't work. Being ignored does not endear you to me.

[Lorne Anderson @Lorne_Anderson]

@OC_Transpo So many students trying to board the 98 at South Keys I couldn't get on. Used to be many buses to choose from. Now I have been sitting on a stuck train for ten minutes. Does anyone there know how to run a transit system?

[Lorne Anderson @Lorne_Anderson]

Just curious. Why do Ottawa's LRT trains have to run at reduced speeds when it is hot? You would think they would be designed for our summers since they don't do winters well. Any answers @OC_Transpo ?

[Lorne Anderson @Lorne_Anderson]

@OC_Transpo "Departure times are not available. Regular O Train service is operating." I guess you think if you broadcast the lie often enough people will believe you. Those of us waiting fifteen minutes and counting for a train know better.

@PaulW1lk1nson The topic goes way beyond the character limits of this site, but aren't Americans aware their president started this tariff spat?
