East-end LRT riders will have to rely on bus service through the afternoon rush hour — and possibly even tomorrow morning — after a broken overhead power line halted service Thursday.
The wire broke around 10:50 a.m. and apparently fell onto a train as it entered St-Laurent station, said Troy Charter, the City of Ottawa's director of transit operations, at a news conference Thursday afternoon.
Shortly afterward, OC Transpo announced that buses would be replacing LRT service between Hurdman and Blair stations.
While Rideau Transit Maintenance was working to restore service as quickly as possible, there was a chance that wouldn't happen until Friday, Charter said.
