O-Train Service Expansion |
As approved in the Business
Plan, staff are exploring the possibility of additional system upgrades and
putting four vehicles in operation on the line at one time instead of two as
we have today. With minimal infrastructure modification, the proposed
expansion of the O-Train would nearly double the O-Train frequency and
capacity at peak periods. Expansion would also provide an innovative
transportation solution when Hurdman station closes for Light Rail Transit
construction. |

Double-decker purchase (Note 1) |
Purchase will improve the
financial sustainability of the transit system while maintaining excellence
in customer service. Operating and long-term capital costs will be reduced as
we will not compromise overall capacity as a result of the network optimization
process. |
