Safe riding reminder

Riding on the outside of any vehicle is dangerous and illegal.

Riding on the outside of a bus, also known as bus surfing, risks serious injury or death to the person riding. It also risks causing an accident that could harm others.

If you notice someone bus surfing:

Let your bus operator know
Notify nearby OC Transpo staff
Call 9-1-1

Permanent operator barriers

Starting in late April, permanent operator barriers are being installed on OC Transpo's bus fleet. Over 750 articulated, double-decker, and 40-foot buses will be equipped with an operator barrier by the end of August 2021.

Operator barriers, also known as shields, improve the workplace safety of our bus operators and enhance the overall safety of our customers.
