War veterans who wear their medals and/or their uniforms and their companions can ride OC Transpo and STO free during National Veterans’ Week, which runs from Nov. 5 to 11.
OC Transpo and STO are planning other activities and service changes for Nov. 11.
OC Transpo buses will pull over to the side of the road, when safe to do so, to observe two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. The Last Post and Reveille will be played over the radios of OC Transpo buses.
OC Transpo will also run a revised weekday schedule with minor reductions on some routes on Remembrance Day. OC Transpo sales and information centres will be closed, with the exception of the Rideau Centre, which will be open from 12:30 to 9 p.m.
STO will also operate a special service on Nov. 11. Riders can consult the STO website at
www.sto.ca or call 819-770-3242 for more information.
