1. Why are the STO bus connections so disjointed from OC Transpo? Why you making us walk 500 metres to the train, and then probably again to another transfer?
2. Why do all downtown bus routes terminate at different places, they should all share one stop where they all stop at? Parliament station, maybe?
Ex. Route 10 ends at Lyon.
3. Why is there no real legitimate capital improvement fund to help speed up OC Transpo buses? Buses should have real capital funding to develop traffic signals that put these buses first.
4. Why is OC Transpo not in charge of all transport related matters such as roads, bike lanes, park and rides, street parking design, traffic signals, etc?
5. When is Hubley or someone, going to propose a new route network design that is not focused on getting people downtown? At this rate, we don't even need the connexion series. Start merging it with the local routes and develop ways to speed them up.
6. Why are transit fares 3.65$ in Kanata to go to Ottawa? But 3.65$ to go from Rideau to Tunneys Pasture station?
7. When is the city going to start consulting and working with councillors to develop a new funding plan? OC Transpo funding needs are different for each community. Maybe, councillors should do consultations on minimum service requirements for their wards based on residents needs.
8. Why are they still relying on public servants to return?
9. Why is Lansdowne bus stop, one tiny shelter?

10. Why are OC Transpo buses, trains, and stations filthier than any other major city I've been to in Canada? Does OC Transpo own a single pressure washer?
11. Why can't OC Transpo put together one cohesive communications strategy (including the app, social media, LCD display messaging, and in-statin/train audio announcements) to at least properly inform passengers on why they are being delayed?
12. Why do some bus operators act like they are F1 drivers, tossing passengers around with erratic acceleration and braking, when I've never experienced that in Toronto or Vancouver?
13. Why do some operators, especially late at night, drive 2x the speed limit to get way ahead of schedule (subsequently screwing over passengers relying on said schedule) only to sit idle for 10 minutes at the next time point?
14. Why does bus service become a free-for-all whenever a detour is put in place? Especially a predictable detour, like the weekly Bank St. closures last summer.
15. Why is the NSAS feature inactive 30% of the time?
16. Why does OC Transpo seemingly use half of its budget to over-salt every inch of its property, only to neglect cleaning up said salt in the spring, leading to rapid decay of infrastructure?
17. Why are single-ride tickets dispensed by TVM's not tap-compatible like they are in Toronto? It's literally the same fare system and the same TVM manufacturer. Also, why are two-ride tickets not a thing here?
18. Why is the official OC Transpo app actual dog water?
