Grover and Matkovsky: On-demand bus service won t fix our transit woes

Article content OC Transpo and city councillors are looking for ways to spend less on public transportation in Ottawa. Coun. Carol Anne Meehan has proposed “on-demand transit” as a way to cut transit spending while maintaining service as pandemic bus ridership remains low. In a recent Ottawa Citizen op-ed, Meehan called for Ottawa to introduce a system where people could book buses via an app, similar to the ride-hailing service Uber. She argued this would offer better service to suburban transit users and replace so-called “empty buses” on the existing service network. While there are merits to this idea, on-demand transit is ill-suited to the real challenge we face: how to bring back and expand bus ridership once the pandemic eases.
