Checking…

Real weather, from Open-Meteo. The excuse underneath it is not real — we just thought it fit.

🕒 How Late Will I Be?

Pick a line and a time of day. We'll invent a delay with total confidence.

Powered by vibes, not GTFS. This is satire, not a real delay prediction.

🎲 Ottawa Fact of the Reload

Ottawa has the world's largest skating rink and still no reliable way to reach it.

Fresh fact every reload. Accuracy: spiritually correct, technically unverified.

🔥 The Roast Desk

Barrhaven

Technically Ottawa. Spiritually a 45-minute bus from Ottawa.

Kanata

Where the 417 goes to think about what it's done.

The Glebe

Will tell you the bus is fine. They have a car.

Orléans

Beautiful, bilingual, one detour from Quebec.

Westboro

The yoga pants outrun the 85.

Vanier

Undefeated. We won't say more.

What is this?

octranspo.org is an unofficial companion for a transit system currently held together with Confederation Line optimism. We tried to get access to OC Transpo's real-time GTFS-RT feed and never got a key — so there are no live vehicle-arrival times here. Instead we scrape OC Transpo's public alerts page for detours and disruptions, combine it with a few hand-verified known issues, and are honest about what we can't show rather than making something up. Schedules and every route, stop, and station come from OC Transpo's public GTFS feed. No trip planner, no PRESTO balance, no login. Cross-reference with the real site before anything important.

Schedule data covers 20260717 to 20260817 (feed S1000509).
