Those buses include route 27 in Orl�ans, route 61 in Kanata; route 77 in Barrhaven; and route 40 in Ottawa South.

The second phase of OC Transpo's plan to get buses rolling again involved15 other routes as well. Those routes either resumed full service or came back online for the first time Monday.

The additional buses bring OC Transpo service levels to 80 per cent capacity.

Those who still need to get a refund on their December bus pass have until Saturday to mail their pass to OC Transpo. Until last Friday, residents could get refunds at OC Transpo kiosks.

Fifty per cent discounts are still being offered on cash fares until the end of February.
