@alexkillby Additionally, people will try to stand close behind you when you tap your card and sneak-in behind you.
What I've done is before I tap my card at the fare gate, I look behind and see who is behind me and how close they are standing before taping.
@ctvottawa Will you be posting the full 6pm newscast online?
My PVR did NOT record the 6pm newscast properly because the delay start due to FIFA soccer game.
@LadySquibbles16 Looks like you had one of those old buses (that should have been removed from service) on your Route 90 Greenboro at 7:20pm, two days in a row. The A/C is weak.

Heads up #ottcity commuters. Those with a July @OC_TranspoHelps monthly pass on their @PRESTOcard may see this instead of the expiration date. It’s apparently a known issue and you shouldn’t be charged.
Some scenes from the intense flooding #OttawaOPP members are seeing along #Hwy417. Holly Acres Rd, Moodie Drive, Woodroffe.

@matt_nocode One more tip when using the web site: Your 4:37pm trip, click the link that says "63-02", that is the Block Number of your scheduled bus. By clicking the Block Number, you'll get to see all the other routes the bus is scheduled to do.
@matt_nocode I'll give you an example on what I mean by "data issue". Route 33 is my bus route.
I take the 7:34 trip on Route 33 Blair that is suppose to arrive at 8:08 Blair. It says it arrived at Blair at 8:14am, but in reality it actually arrived at 8:17am. So, there is a data issue.
