OC Transpo boosts service to the RBC Royal Bank Bluesfest

OC Transpo is the best option for residents and visitors travelling to Bluesfest this year, with frequent, direct service to LeBreton Flats from July 8 to 19.

Twelve routes provide direct service to and from LeBreton Station (8, 16, 85, 86, 87, 91, 92, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98 and the nearby O-Train Trillium Line). Free parking is available at Park & Ride lots across the city.

Additional trips are scheduled at the beginning of the evening so that festival-goers can get to the venue as quickly as possible.

Between 11 and 11:45 p.m., rapid transit routes 91, 92, 94, 95, 96, 97 and 98 will be increased in frequency to accommodate the crowds leaving at the end of the night. The O-Train Trillium Line will also operate more frequently in the late evening Monday through Saturday, and will have extended service until midnight on Sundays during Bluesfest.

Route 8 may experience minor detours and delays in the LeBreton Flats area during Bluesfest.

Para Transpo will be providing direct service to and from Bluesfest.

Customers who may be first time users or occasional riders are reminded that cash fares are $3.55. Customers should have the exact fare ready, board at the front door of the bus, and ask for a transfer as proof of payment in the event of fare inspection.
