Today's the big day when the new LRT's impact is really felt

Good morning commuters!

Today is a big day: more than a hundredfewer buses per hour downtown as transit users areforced onto the train betweenTunney's Pasture andBlair stations.

Almost every bus route in the city has changed as of yesterday.

We're bringing back a live blog today:

There will soon be a reopening of roads and lanes which were closed years ago to accommodate the Transitwayand its no-longer-needed buses, though we still don't have specific times and dates.

These include the ramp to the eastbound Highway 174 from the westbound Highway 417, bus-only lanes on Scott Street, bus-only lanes on the 417 between the split and Nicholas Street andbus-only lanes on Nicholas and Rideau streets between Sussex and Dalhousie.

Have a great day!
