The operator drove five buses serving several different routes in the three days before self-isolating, the head of OC Transpo said.

Amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, trains are running less frequently on the Confederation Line starting Friday. Changes to bus service levels begin Monday.

Pest treatment at both OC Transpo buildings began at 1 p.m. Thursday and they're expected to be finished by Saturday afternoon, the transit agency says.

LRT operators reported issues with the CCTV camera system at around 10 a.m. Wednesday, OC Transpo says.

Train service is expected to resume in September 2022. The north-south train will be replaced with bus service until then.

OC Transpo anticipates that the train shortage on the Confederation Line will continue into the weekend and on Monday, the head of the agency says.

OC Transpo says seven trains are in service Thursday afternoon, instead of the 13 needed for rush-hour periods.

Replacement bus service is running between Hurdman and Blair stations, according to OC Transpo.

LRT service was already short three trains going into the Friday afternoon commute and then two more trains were pulled off the tracks.

"We thought we had fully informed council, but obviously we did not. And for that, I sincerely apologize," John Manconi said.
