Current operator facts and historical observations are kept separate. Missing data is highlighted, but it is not automatically called a cancelled trip or no-show.

Upcoming route-origin departures in the current four-hour board; this is not a historical cancellation rate.
A skipped origin is kept separate from a cancelled trip. Either claim appears only from a current healthy provider relationship.
27 of 44 scheduled trips lacked a matched vehicle position over 4 service days (38.6% observed). These are investigation candidates, not confirmed no-shows.
Withheld under this route’s service-purpose rule.
Withheld under this route’s service-purpose rule.
The public vehicle feed does not provide dependable passenger loads or pass-up events. Rider reports identify where to investigate, but are not turned into a rate.
A notice may explain a change, but it is not a historical short-turn count. Otranspo does not infer an unannounced route change from a missing position.
Recurring problem periods
Hours below 70% within ±5 minutes on at least three service days are surfaced for action. They describe timetable deviation, not proven service failure.
Recurring timetable-deviation periods are withheld because this route requires purpose-specific pickup, completion, or event-release evidence.
Evidence-backed problem locations
No route-by-stop historical cohort meets the publication contract yet. The route map below highlights current notice-affected stops and live buses, but rider reports are not turned into hotspot claims.
How claims earn confidence
- Official current feed: explicit cancellations, skipped stops and active notices.
- Matched observations: settled predictions and vehicle positions tied to the official schedule.
- Official timetable: what was scheduled, kept distinct from what was observed.
- Rider and operator reports: valuable leads for routes, times and places to investigate—not numeric proof by themselves.
Current route evidence
What is happening on this route
Timetable, vehicle and notice evidence are kept separate so a missing live feed is never presented as no service.

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.
Today’s scheduled service

The realtime prediction feed is unavailable or stale. Timetable times remain labelled as scheduled only.
Vehicles observed now
Current vehicle positions cannot be confirmed. No zero is shown.
Active official notices
The operator notice feed is unavailable or stale, so no all-clear is claimed.
Planned changes
No safely matched planned change is recorded for this route.
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.

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.

| 18:00 | 65.7% | 3.6 min late | 11.9 min late | 233 · 7 days |
4 hourly block(s) are below 70% across at least three service days: a repeated pattern, not one bad day.
Scheduled bus, but not observed in realtime
17 / 44 scheduled trips published at least one position across 4 service days (38.6%).
- 16:006 / 8 trips without a position25.0%
- 17:006 / 8 trips without a position25.0%
- 07:005 / 8 trips without a position37.5%
- 06:004 / 8 trips without a position50.0%
- 15:004 / 8 trips without a position50.0%
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
1 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
- Computed or assembled
- Sample
- 2,483 settled arrivals across 1 matching reliability records.
- Coverage
- 2 published stop patterns containing 70 stop calls are available on this page.

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.
