🌯 The Shawarma Index
Est. by grief · updated daily-ishWhere Ottawa goes to mourn a missed train. Ranked by taste, proximity to a station that isn't working, and willingness to stay open past 2am.
Bank St. Worth every one of the three detours.
3 Brothers
The pre-meltdown classic. Reliable, unlike the L1.
Shawarma's Delight
Open when the train, and hope, are not.
Zaatar w Zeit
Elgin. For when the bus never showed and neither did your date.
King Shawarma
Rideau-adjacent. Eat it on the platform. You'll have time.
🎰 Excuse-o-matic
Pull the lever. Get the reason your train isn't here. All entries observed in the wild.
Switch problem at Tremblay. Again. It's always Tremblay.

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).
