Service report: October 2026
One calendar month, at a page that will still say this when you come back to it. Every figure is a count of arrivals observed and settled on the service dates below.
Still running
This month has not finished. Figures are measured through Oct 1, 2026, covering 1 of 1 elapsed days, and will change as later service dates are settled.
Publication status
Current mutable calculation
Recomputed from the evidence available at Oct 2, 2026, 11:47 a.m. under monthly-service-report-v6. This page can change as evidence is completed or corrected and should be cited with its access time.
The month in short
75.9% of 359,327 observed arrivals were within five minutes of the timetable, across 140 routes. The diagnosis for this month has not been published yet. It is produced once, when the month closes, because it re-reads every arrival in the month.

What should change
Worked out from this month’s arrivals, ranked by how much service each problem affects. Each line says what is wrong, when, and who can fix it.
The diagnosis for this month has not been published yet. It is produced once, when the month closes, because it re-reads every arrival in the month.
Not covered here
- Whether scheduled trips actually ran. Measured over a rolling recent window that cannot be reconstructed for a closed month.
- Whether frequent routes arrive evenly or in groups. Measured the same way, over the same rolling window.
Against other months
The month before
September 2026: 77.1% on time
30 of 30 calendar days measured · 8,142,051 observed arrivals · 141 routes
September 2026 is not complete, so it is shown rather than compared. A difference against a partial month would measure the missing days.
The same month last year
October 2025 was not measured by this site.
Furthest from the timetable in October 2026
The routes with the lowest share of on-time arrivals. A low figure does not say whose fault it is: a route can be late because its timetable is wrong, because the service is failing, or because of the traffic it runs in. Each route page separates those.

Most reliable in October 2026
The routes with the highest share of settled arrivals within five minutes of the timetable. All use the same route class, evidence threshold and period. This is a relative ranking, not an operator target.

Why there are no trains in this report
Everything on this page is about buses. The O-Train is not counted anywhere in it.
That is not a choice we made. To measure a trip we have to know when the vehicle actually turned up, and OC Transpo publishes that live information for its buses but not for its trains. The train timetable is public. Where the trains actually are is not.
So we can tell you how late a bus was, and we can tell you nothing at all about a train. If OC Transpo published the same live information for the O-Train that it already publishes for buses, every figure on this page would cover the trains too.
