OC Transpo: 10 Minutes At Hurdman

Ottawa, Ontario's transit system, OC Transpo, has a "bus only" Transitway network. Hurdman Station is at an intersection of two Transitway branches just east of downtown. All buses passing through the station have to cross the intersection that I was taking video from. In the background is a layover area for buses that originate and terminate at Hurdman. Not shown in the background-left is another exit used by eastbound buses.
I shot this video on September 17th, 2012 from 3:15 to 4:00pm. In that 45-minute period, I actually ended up with 40 minutes of video, which gives you an idea of how many buses passed through the station after seeing the 10 minutes I lifted to post here.

The old 1999 Orion VI's are retiered.

[@97SCT]

Some of those Orion VI's are still active, but they can be found in Sault Ste. Marie.

You're welcome :)

Actually Buses traveling east (Orleans and locals heading east) travel through the layup to the eastern Transitway at Industrial .

This no longer exists in preparation for LRT opening in 2018. There is still a bus station here but it has been redesigned and does receive this level of bus traffic.

[@trainman1971]

I noticed that back in July. Going to have to do a re-do once the Confederation Line opens up.

also what even thought these busses have been retired for quite some time now what is the difference in between the nova classic and the MCI classics

How come the TTC citybuses Canada has aren't in NYC or NYS? We need some of these buses, man, for the MTA needs to restore the bus routes they took off a half decade ago.

[@Steelback70]

You should have included some footage from inside the station.

[@zanjani13]

Awesome video, how much Canada footage do you have?

[@thomash8170]

[@trainman1971]

I have quite a lot of Canadian footage on here... take a scroll through my videos and you'll see.... :)

One of the worse transits in Canada. Designed from the start to be bad to get provincial and federal funds for a subway system. When all that is needed, is a better designed transit system that doesn't have so many buses going downtown, and a truck by pass route, with a better transit link with Gatineau, to get transport trucks and Gatineau buses off Rideau street.
