  • My driver noticed that I was sleeping and was about to miss my stop. He stopped and had a passenger wake me up so that I would be able to make it to work on time. That level of attentiveness and care for the passengers was something that I've never seen before and I appreciate it so much

    — VIA Metropolitan Transit rider

  • To every driver, operator, and team member at OC Transpo — thank you. We see you showing up, day after day, through every challenge this city throws your way. You do far more than move people from stop to stop. You are quietly facilitating the moments that matter most — someone getting to a job interview, a parent rushing to their child, a person finally reaching help they've been waiting for. You never know the weight of what you're carrying, and yet you carry it faithfully. Ottawa moves because you do. From the bottom of our hearts — thank you. 💚

    — OC Transpo

  • I just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything you all do every day. Riding the bus with my siblings to school is so much easier and more enjoyable because of all of your hard work, patience, and kindness. You all get us safely to school rain or shine, and I really appreciate how much you care about all your passengers. Thank you for making our mornings (and afternoons!) smoother and brighter.

    — CATA rider

  • Yes, I ride Brampton Transit, and I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your hard work, patience, and dedication truly make a difference in our daily lives.
