I believe the idea is that ultimately when all is in place things will actually be better.
We shall see.

A big goal of the O-Train was to reduce the extreme bus congestion in downtown Ottawa. Of course the pandemic and subsequent move to work-from-home was a huge black swan event. I do wonder if Ottawa would do it all again if they got the chance from today's perspective.
FWIW I also do think closing the Trillium line for years for an expansion and major rebuild but
not electrifying it at the same time is typical Canadian cheapness, and there's a good chance it ends up getting closed again for electrification some time in the future.
