How route 5 is doing

A plain-language summary of the strongest evidence we have. We say when the data cannot answer a question.

Bottom line

Usually close to schedule, but check the problem times below.

82 in 100 arrivals were within 5 minutes of schedule · 40,034 arrivals checked

Confidence in this summary: High

Based on 40,034 arrivals over 22 weekdays, from 2026-07-29T18:45:47.010Z to 2026-08-28T18:45:47.010Z.

Updated Aug 28, 2026, 2:45 p.m.

Problems to fix

These are repeated patterns, not one bad day or an unverified rider report.

  1. 8 a.m.–9 a.m.: 47 in 100 arrivals were more than 5 minutes early or late (381 arrivals over 3 days).
  2. 2 p.m.–3 p.m.: 43 in 100 arrivals were more than 5 minutes early or late (336 arrivals over 7 days).
  3. 9 a.m.–10 a.m.: 39 in 100 arrivals were more than 5 minutes early or late (441 arrivals over 3 days).

Official notices cannot be confirmed right now.

Problem places

We do not yet have enough route-by-stop history to name a recurring problem stop. Rider reports are used as leads, not proof.

The questions riders ask

Cancelled trips right now
Cannot confirm right now

Checks trips starting at route endpoints in the next 4 hours. This is not a historical cancellation rate.

Trips that may not have shown up
No confirmed count yet

293 of 716 scheduled trips had no matching vehicle position over 6 days. The feed covered 59.1%. These are cases to investigate—not confirmed no-shows.

Late service
The slowest 5 in 100 were more than about 10.6 min late

82 in 100 arrivals were within 5 minutes of schedule.

Long gaps or bunching
8.6 min average predicted wait

1.8 min beyond the scheduled wait, based on 10 arrivals at 1 high-frequency stop over 1 days.

How this route is judged: Regular all-stop route

We compare observed arrivals with the official schedule. A result needs at least 200 arrivals. Within 5 minutes is the rider-facing target used here.

What this data cannot prove

The public feed does not provide dependable passenger counts or passed-up-rider events. A missing position does not by itself prove a cancellation, no-show, short turn or cause.

See the definitions, thresholds and evidence order
  1. Official current feed: explicit cancellations, skipped stops and active notices.
  2. Matched observations: vehicle positions and settled predictions tied to the official schedule.
  3. Official timetable: what was planned, kept separate from what was observed.
  4. Rider and operator reports: leads about routes, times and places to investigate—not numeric proof by themselves.

Where the buses are now

Fresh vehicle positions appear on the route below. A marker stops moving when the evidence runs out—we do not invent movement.

The line is the official route. Dots show published stops, buses seen now and stops named in current notices.

Markers move between GPS fixes using measured progress along the published route. They pause after one measured reporting interval, on a measured standstill, or when evidence becomes stale.

Buses seen now

Current vehicle positions cannot be confirmed. No zero is shown.

Official notices

The operator notice feed is unavailable or stale, so no all-clear is claimed.

Planned changes

The planned-change register is unavailable. No planned change is confirmed or ruled out.

These are Otranspo register records, separate from operator alerts. A record is attached only when its route label identifies one operator; ambiguous OC Transpo/STO number matches are withheld.

Data behind this result

This route has more than one official schedule record. We keep each record separate so the totals stay checkable and we do not invent a combined worst-case result.

Observed evidence cohort 5

Provisional results, published evidence

When is this route reliable?

Every hour below is backed by this route’s settled arrivals. “On time” means no more than five minutes early or late, so a bus that leaves very early counts as a failure for the waiting rider.

Scheduled bus, but not observed in realtime

423 / 716 scheduled trips published at least one position across 6 service days (59.1%).

  • 00:007 / 11 trips without a position36.4%
  • 23:0014 / 23 trips without a position39.1%
  • 17:0026 / 45 trips without a position42.2%
  • 19:0018 / 32 trips without a position43.8%
  • 20:0015 / 27 trips without a position44.4%
  • 18:0026 / 47 trips without a position44.7%

This is not a confirmed no-show. A missing position can mean a cancelled or missed bus, but it can also mean an unassigned trip ID or an operator-feed gap. Otranspo publishes the gap because it matters to riders while keeping the conclusion honest.

Method: last prediction within ten minutes of each arrival; one arrival per trip, stop and service date. Trip coverage: GTFS schedule compared with any GTFS-RT position carrying the same trip and local service date. Sources and limitations.

What is being shown

The current public route group, its published schedule variants and stop patterns, current operations, and matching observed reliability where available.

How it was produced

2 current GTFS route record variants are grouped by operator and public route number. Stop patterns remain tied to their published variant; aggregated reliability records are not merged into an invented percentile.

Evidence dates

Sample
40,034 settled arrivals across 1 matching reliability records.

Limits to keep in mind

  • Schedule variants can apply on different dates. A grouped route is not a claim that every pattern operates today.
  • Accessibility fields report only what the operator publishes; an unknown value is not confirmation of access.
