A Message from Councillor King
Dear Residents:
Over the past several months, I have heard from hundreds of residents across Rideau-Rockcliffe about cancelled buses, long gaps in service, and unreliable commutes. People relying on routes like the 6, 7, 12, 15, and 18 have told me about waiting 30, 60, even 90 minutes in the cold, watching “out of service” buses drive past them, missing work, missing exams, and scrambling to find expensive Ubers they can’t afford. Parents have written to me about being late to pick up their children from school and daycare. Others have told me they were left stranded at unsheltered stops in winter conditions. I want to start by saying this clearly: I hear you, and I sincerely apologize for the frustration and hardship this is causing. Being late to work because your bus didn’t show up is unacceptable, and I understand how disruptive this is to your day and your livelihood.
