Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Wed. August 6th, 2025
August 6, 2025
By the end of this month, and just in time for a brand-new learning season, the OC Transpo Youth Pass will be no more. Troy Charter, the Interim GM for OC Transpo, broke the news in a recent memo to City Council. Right now, the monthly Youth Pass costs $104 per month, while the monthly Adult Pass is $135 per month. And as you might expect, the city’s biggest transit critics are not impressed. We dig deeper in Hour 1 with David Jeanes, a spokesperson for Transport Action Canada. Plus, Kristy’s Summer Hit List continues to heat up, as we shout out a handful of must-see Summer attractions all across the National Capital Region. Joining the show with her selections is Katherine Dines from MOVE 100. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
