Six express bus routes are back in operation Wednesday, serving transit users in the suburbs two weeks earlier than expected.

Routes 38, 60, 76, 121, 125 and 131 are now back online.

OC Transpo has announced there will be service on all routes during peak periods starting March 16.

Transit users in Ottawa's suburbs got limited express bus service for the first time in two months Monday morning.

The additional buses that resumed service on Wednesday bring OC Transpo service levels to 90 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. Fifty per cent discounts are still being offered on cash fares until the end of February.
