OC Transpo says it expects to continue to run single-car trains on the O-Train Line 1 this fall, but shuttle buses connecting the east and west ends with downtown will continue to run.

Speaking to reporters Monday, Amilcar said she expects the shuttle service to continue until the end of the year. She says between 7 and 10 buses total will be dedicated to the service. "OC Transpo, together with Transportation Resource Associates , have conducted a final review of RTG’s documentation to confirm that the requirements for the restart of full Line 1 service have been met," Amilcar said Sunday evening.

Transport Action Canada says OC Transpo running single-car service should provide enough capacity for August passenger loads.
