Free rides on OC Transpo are over for weekday transit users.

Although there won't be any more free rides Monday to Friday, weekends will still be free for the rest of February.

Riders who use the bus during the week can take advantage of half-price cash and ticket fares until the end of the month.

OC Transpo will also offer discounts on regular passes until the end of March.

Four more routes resumed service in Ottawa's west end on Monday, one week earlier than expected.

A second phase of buses is slotted to hit the road Feb. 23. However, full service will not resume until April.
