Stop impacts: Baseline 1C and 1D relocated during Transitway closure: June 11 2026 - From 11:00 pm on Thursday, June 11, until 6:00 pm on Monday, November 16, stops 1C and 1D at Baseline Station will be relocated slightly north along the platform, out of the way of construction work. As a result, stops for routes 53 Tunney's Pasture, 75 Barrhaven Centre, 82 Lincoln Fields, 84 Centrepointe, and 187 Amberwood will be affected. The construction work will require routes 53 Tunney's Pasture, 75 Barrhaven Centre, 82 Lincoln Fields, 84 Centrepointe, 187 Baseline, 187 Amberwood, and 189 Colonnade to detour slightly when arriving at, driving through, and departing from Baseline Station.

How we measure →

This is the running reliability measure, not the report-card measure: for each stretch between two stops, how long buses really took against how long the timetable allows, over 26 counted days at all hours. It shows which stretches run behind, not how often. The report-card measure replaces it as soon as it has enough weekdays.

Example: a one-kilometre stretch the timetable runs at 20 km/h takes 3 minutes; if buses averaged 15 km/h it took 4, so 1 minute is lost there.
