OC Transpo faces deficit after strike, could scale back on buses


The head of OC Transpo says Ottawa's transit company lost more than just days on the road during its 51-day transit strike. It also lost important earnings that will leave the company in a deficit.

Alain Mercier, the head of OC Transpo, says that because of lost fares and the cost of winning back riders, the company is in the hole by $13.4 million.

In December, Mercier had said that the transit strike would save the city $3 million a week.



So this is your explanation ? You forgot that when you stop offering a service, people stop GIVING YOU MONEY for that service , therefore you're estimates are a little off ?

Did you think money fell out of the sky or something ? People just threw it at you for the fun of it ?


Alain Mercier , head of the OC Transpo , needs to be fired. It is obvious he doesn't have the neccessary skills to run a hot dog stand on bank street , let alone a major corporation that is vital to the functioning of the whole city. The whole notion of money , providing services, managing people, seems to be alien to him. He seems to think he does as he likes and the money keeps flowing in no matter who he ticks off , it all doesn't matter, he's the CEO of OCTranspo he can do anything he likes .

We don't have time for this three year old to figure out we expect results from him , that we expect the buses to keep on running , it's not his private fiefdom. Boot him out and get someone who can at least run a hot dog stand. They're obviously better qualified than this jerk who thinks money falls from the sky and your own actions have no influence at all on that flow.
