Episode Details

A father and son’s chaotic bus trip from Ottawa to Montreal exposes the city’s crumbling transit infrastructure—no terminal, no ticket counters, just a street corner with locked shelters and a university restroom as the only option. Five years after the old Greyhound station closed, Ottawa’s bus system is a patchwork of malls and corners, confusing visitors and frustrating locals who can’t buy tickets in person. Compared to the Netherlands’ efficiency, Ottawa’s system feels outdated and unwelcoming—especially for students and seniors. Experts call for a modern, integrated transit hub that connects buses, trains, and ride-sharing, even adding co-working spaces. While the city’s plan hints at a new terminal near the O-Train, officials offer vague promises, leaving travelers stuck with a broken system.
