OC Transpo: Lack of Bilingual Service?
by Palmer on Jan.27, 2010, under Uncategorized
While on the bus ride home yesterday, I noticed that they have installed those nifty electronic announcement systems inside the bus that will let people know what the next stop is. Well, at least on the Transitway where my bus was running.
However, I noticed one peculiar thing. It was only in English.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t there a big issue with OC Transpo drivers not announcing the bus stops in both languages? So now the electronic computer voice doesn’t either?
Methinks this smells fishy.

I got the opposite this morning……French only…I agree, seems a little fishy, not to mention a bit of a waste of money.
Granted, I’m bitter given that their on the verge of cutting my express route altogether to save money!

I got so fed up with OC transpo last year that I quit taking the bus altogether.

Gas and parking is cheaper for me than taking the bus.
