Until they STUPIDLY moved the 5 and 16 to the bridge, all but the 85 ran on Rideau.

I fully support having the local routes from the west running on the Mackenzie King Bridge for various reasons; without getting into the whole Rideau expansion conversation, it might A. Bring Cadillac Fairview to make some sort of financial contribution to the project and B. Get a good chunk of the buses off Rideau Street.

Absolutely not. Rideau Street is straight and simple. The route to/from the bridge to/from the east is not. Swervy is bad for bus transit. (Why bus-a-holic Ottawa doesn't get that is beyond me.)
The hub is Rideau. And there need to be buses that transit through Rideau without originating or terminating there. There should not be a big jesus seam in the transit system downtown. Toronto streetcars cross the downtown core, as do many Montreal buses. It's sensible. It's sane. And, naturally, in Ottawa, the MORONS are doing the exact opposite.

No dinky-toy transit, please.
