Limebank Station: Passenger pick-up and drop-off area relocation: December 12 2025 -
At 10:00 am on Thursday, December 18, Town Square Road and the connector road at Limebank Station will re-open to general traffic. As a result, the temporarily-relocated passenger pick-up and drop-off zone will be moved back to its original location, on the north side of Limebank Station.
Customers are reminded to use the designated pedestrian crossing zones when travelling between the O-Train station and the passenger pick-up and drop-off area.

Values and interpretation
3% of back-to-back buses on this route arrived bunched together: 2,931 of 115,321 pairs checked at stops in the last 28 days. When buses bunch, the wait after them is usually longer.
2% of pairs (2,077) had a long gap: more than 1.75 times the planned wait between them.

What this route needs
Median provider predictions are 3.8 to 4.1 min later than the timetable in 6 hours of the day.
Predictions near the start are about 3.3 min later than the timetable, with a similar difference near the end. This does not establish the cause.
15:00 has 51% of predictions within five minutes of the timetable, against 76% the rest of the day.
Next investigation: test terminal recovery and the preceding trip against operational records. Predictions alone do not establish the cause.

Bottom line
Dated result, not live service
This prediction-to-timetable result describes the dated period, not service right now. It was last calculated 5 hours ago. Current vehicle positions and official notices are checked separately.
Based on 150,278 eligible provider predictions over 27 measured days, from Oct 6, 2026 to Nov 3, 2026.
Updated Nov 5, 2026, 2:32 a.m.
Where and when did predictions differ repeatedly?
These are repeated prediction-to-timetable differences, not independently measured service failures. They use the same eligible predictions as the result above, but group by stop rather than hour, so the lists need not match line for line.
15–16: 49 in 100 eligible predictions differed from the timetable by more than 5 minutes (4,462 predictions over 15 days).
18–19: 43 in 100 eligible predictions differed from the timetable by more than 5 minutes (6,482 predictions over 15 days).
17–18: 43 in 100 eligible predictions differed from the timetable by more than 5 minutes (6,807 predictions over 15 days).
22–23: 42 in 100 eligible predictions differed from the timetable by more than 5 minutes (2,268 predictions over 15 days).

What riders want to know
Is any trip cancelled right now?
0 of 12Checks trips starting at route endpoints in the next 4 hours. This is not a historical cancellation rate.
Possible no-shows after checking feed gaps?
7 of 623 checked trips need a closer look7 of 623 trips with enough public-feed evidence had no matching position over 7 days. 0 of 623 scheduled trips were excluded because the feed record was incomplete. These are cases to investigate, not confirmed no-shows.
How did provider predictions differ from the timetable?
7.2 min average predicted wait0.7 min beyond the scheduled wait, based on 279 eligible predictions at 13 high-frequency stops over 12 days.

Checksums let anyone verify which retained timetable produced the counts. A changed count does not identify a cause, cancellation, operator decision, or passenger impact.
How this route is judged: Regular all-stop route
We compare the last eligible provider prediction for each scheduled arrival with the official schedule. These are not independently measured arrivals. A result needs at least 200 eligible predictions. Within 5 minutes is the rider-facing target used here.
What this data cannot prove
The public feed does not provide dependable passenger counts or passed-up-rider events. A missing position does not by itself prove a cancellation, no-show, short turn or cause.
See the definitions, thresholds and evidence order
Official current feed: explicit cancellations, skipped stops and active notices.
Matched observations: vehicle positions and settled predictions tied to the official schedule.
Official timetable: what was planned, kept separate from what was observed.
Rider and operator reports: leads about routes, times and places to investigate, not numeric proof by themselves.
Provisional results, published evidence
How did predictions compare with the timetable?
Each hour compares the last eligible provider prediction for a scheduled arrival with the timetable. “Within 5 minutes” describes that prediction difference, not a measured arrival or proof that a bus ran.
Evidence window: October 6, 2026 to November 3, 2026
7 hourly block(s) are below 70% across at least three service days: a repeated pattern, not one bad day.
Scheduled bus, but not observed in realtime
616 / 623 scheduled trips published at least one position across 1 service days (98.9%).
04:002 / 18 trips without a position88.9%
15:002 / 38 trips without a position94.7%
19:001 / 28 trips without a position96.4%

17:001 / 48 trips without a position97.9%
05:000 / 20 trips without a position100.0%
This is not a confirmed no-show. A missing position can mean a cancelled or missed bus, but it can also mean an unassigned trip ID or an operator-feed gap. Otranspo publishes the gap because it matters to riders while keeping the conclusion honest.
Prediction check: the last eligible provider prediction no earlier than ten minutes before the scheduled arrival, counted once per trip, stop and scheduled Toronto calendar date. It is compared with the timetable, not an independently measured arrival. Trip-position check: the timetable kept before each service day, matched to recorded positions. Exact IDs are preferred; an OC timetable suffix is matched only to one trip on the same route and date with an overlapping time window. Missing timetables, ambiguous matches and feed gaps stay labelled; they are not confirmed no-shows. Sources and limitations.
