OC Transpo fleet stabilises as electric buses arrive in Ottawa

By Eve

Ottawa's OC Transpo transit agency reports its fleet numbers are beginning to stabilise with the arrival of additional electric buses. The development addresses earlier fleet availability challenges. The update was shared by local councillor Glen Gower and covered by regional news outlets.

Why it matters: Transit fleet electrification projects depend on reliable vehicle delivery schedules; stabilising fleet numbers signals that procurement timelines are improving and that charging infrastructure can now support expanded electric operations in a major Canadian city.
