The world's most useless public transit network.
Based in Canada's capital, Ottawa, it features some 250 bus lines, each running less reliably than the last. One of the most talked-about events in the company's history was the strike of '08. Started in December, just in time for the designated intra-religious holiday season, it continued through February 2009, at which point, an enraged businessman, who had relied on the bus service to get to work, went on a rampage, slaughtering 40 executives, 12 drivers and 5 mechanics, and threatening to blow up a gas tank at the headquarters if the striking employees didn't get back to work.
A prominent controversy at OC Transpo is the city's light rail system. You see, the city used to have a sort of trolley in the early 20th century, which was for some reason all but removed. City council's been bitching about bringing it back for the last two decades, but they're too corrupt to do more than fund a useless above-ground line going from nowhere to no place special.

-So, I hear another OC Transpo strike is in the works.
-Wow, 3 years, that must be a new record! I've never seen them go that long without some sort of shit happening

A public transit system in Ottawa, Canada dedicated to transporting the unwashed masses of society to their selected destinations. Those who use public transportation in Ottawa include single moms on welfare with ipods and big-ass strollers, people in wheelchairs, obnoxious students, drunks, people with mental illness and of course the elderly. Most buses in Ottawa are designed and equipped to accommodate wheelchairs on board. A wheelchair can take up to three seats on the bus simply by folding up the seat to allow the wheelchair park in its space. The same can apply for a big-ass stroller when a single mom boards the bus, but she can take up to five seats. Three seats for the stroller and up to two seats for her huge ass thus forcing those who have been working hard on their feet all day to give up their seat should they happen to sit in the designated are; but of course one should always give up their seat for the elderly.
Some idiots will blame the OC Transpo bus strike in 2008-2009 is the real reason why they dropped out of college and not because they are too fucking stupid and lazy to make arrangements for alternative transportation to and from school.

Those who use public transportation in Ottawa include single moms on welfare with ipods and big-ass strollers, people in wheelchairs, obnoxious students, drunks, people with mental illness and of course the elderly. Most buses in Ottawa are designed and equipped to accommodate wheel chairs on board. A wheel takes up three seats on the bus simply by folding up the seat to allow the wheelchair park in its space.
