I'm quoting the preliminary plan here:
Weekdays
Will operate during their regularly scheduled day, including rush hours:
- O-Train
- All school routes, numbered in the 600’s
- Rapid transit routes 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 101, 102 and 106
- Major routes 2, 7, 12, 14, 85, 86 and 118
- Peak employment route 105
- Van route 123
- Early morning routes 824, 825, 830, 835, 837, and 873
Will operate evenings and mid-day only, outside of rush hours:
- Routes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 16, 18, 87, 111, 112, 114, 115, 116 and 117.
- Local black routes numbered 121-178
Will not operate:
- Green express and rural express routes
- Red rush hour routes other than 102 and 105.
My effort here was to make sure my fellow passengers know what they're facing. In my case, I'll be switching from car-pooling to bike riding, as there will be no service to either my work or home until summer, at this rate.
Does this mean they'll give you the days for December and January, but they may give a solid two months of holiday?

Carleton students are going to have to a) plan accordingly with little of the 4 and 117 (though there is the 7) and/or b) just take one of the functioning routes to the UofO an take the Carleton-UofO shuttle.
As well as Cité Collégiale students I see, if they have morning classes.
Mind you, everyone is going to have to plan accordingly; even though I'm near a hub station (if you will) where most routes pass, I'm damn sure 90% of the buses that come by would be packed.
Thanks for sharing this :)
Oh well at least there will be more room on the road for the car ;)
Happy their actually have a plan so far. . .
The city is putting forth a worst case scenario, so when the fleet is up and running within a week, they can mug the camera and take the credit from the mechanics and maintenance people.
It' going to be ugly the first two weeks....packed, frustrated passengers.....cold, wet, cranky, good luck to you girls and guys that have to drive the first wave!
