...also: Mayor Sutcliffe and I have asked OC Transpo to share weekly updates on fleet availability going forward, to provide council and residents with as much information as possible about the bus service and impacts on passengers.

Added to those factors this week:
❄️ winter weather and significant traffic congestion
🚉 LRT issues during peak hours on two days this week

Not good, and it's having a significant impact on passengers. I've received a lot of feedback from residents this week.

Three main factors affecting the fleet:
1️⃣ Age of fleet = more complex and lengthier maintenance = buses out of service for longer
2️⃣ Ongoing challenges to recruit licensed mechanics resulting in a backlog of repairs.
3️⃣ Supply chain issues impacting the delivery of Zero Emission Buses (ZEBs).
