Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson is promising an extra day of free transit for seniors if he's re-elected Monday.
The announcement was among his final list of campaign promises of the election, released in an emailed statement late Thursday afternoon.
"This measure is not only a cost saving opportunity for seniors; it encourages them to leave their home and take part in social outings, helping to fight widespread loneliness and isolation affecting many seniors," Watson said in the release.
