Being part of actual change for the last 50 yrs. Do to my a natural ablity as innovator, administrator and analyst. That has a recorded history of creating solution by using open source vision sense college to not change what humans do but how they do it with a technical training that allow me to us the Community ofOttawa talent pool to open the door to change. Yet had an ordinary life being seen as the first fulll time Mr Mom & part time janitor at a local university. Introducing Ottawa council to a 21st century transit system in 2010. Tgat was never discussed, but by using open source thinking. The first test EMF rail just showed up in Montreal. If they are doing the POD version next. Hold 4 to 6 passengers designed mass produced I. Kit firm. Run over top or along tgecsdeof tge existing road. You can save your car for road trips. Produce electricity & be anywhere in Ottawa region with in mins. We had the technology for sometime. Unfortunately we also have a group of developers that own the LRT &land attached. Limiting support.
I would say that OC transpo fails on most points. It is far from reliable, not frequent enough and definitely not affordable for most people. Most people I know who can afford it take Uber instead of a bus because it's just too frustrating to wait for a bus for one hour if you're only planning to travel 15 minutes.
You know this already - I'm venting.
The problem with OC transpo is the chicken or the egg thing. If not enough people ride, buses are cut and if buses are cut, no one will ride. We need a courageous commitment from city councillors to fund better and more integrated public transit. This is possible!
Something that relates to 5, 7 and 10 which I have seen make a huge difference in other countries is interoperability with regional networks. Here in Ottawa, our public transit & transit funding completely ignores any town or area which does not lie within an invisible "city limit" line. Arnprior, Almonte, Carleton Place, Kemptville, Winchester, Russell, Embrun, Limoges, Clarence-Rockland -- these are all places our family would love to visit, live or work; however, getting there through public transit is next to impossible. If significant funding for transit is provided by federal or provincial pockets then connections to regions should extend past invisible lines on a map. Extending transit to neighbours is something I see when travelling to other countries (or even other areas in Ontario and Canada) which make their public transit far "Greater" than towns and cities which do not consider such things by principle.
