Hey, I noticed you making a few edits to some Ottawa area roads. I can see OC Transpo is your main focus, but regardless we'd love to have another editor interested in roads and transportation on board the Ontario Roads Wikiproject. Cheers, ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 17:17, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi BigBenzino, I saw you made an edit where you renamed Woodroffe Avenue to Nepean Woods Station. Do you have a source for this or can tell me where it came from? I haven't heard it called that at all. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 15:14, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On the official OC Transpo iPhone app, route 94 scheduled to Woodroffe are shown as arriving at Nepean Woods 1A and trips from Woodroffe are shown as departing from Nepean Woods 2A. The bus destination signs say Woodroffe via Fallowfield and the OC Transpo website says Woodroffe, so I'm actually unsure whether to put Woodroffe or Nepean Woods as the terminus. However, I do know a new park and ride lot is supposed to be constructed soon in that general area, which could mean Nepean Woods is the name of the new park and ride. BigBenzino (talk) 13:11, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ya, that's interesting. Since they still do say Woodroffe via Fallowfield on the buses, i'm going to have them both in the same line as Woodroffe is more likely what people will identify with. If you can find a better way to format both in the article (since it line splits), feel free to change that up. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 17:38, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nepean Woods is officially now a station for route 94 and route 176 as mentioned in the spring service change highlights on the OC Transpo web page. BigBenzino (talk) 01:30, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You extensively edit OC Transpo related articles and yet most of the stations and many others remain unreferenced or poorly referenced. There must be something available, whether it is published in the media or a report by the City of Ottawa or OC Transpo. You obviously have research information available to you for your edits and you could improve these articles by adding those references. Secondarywaltz (talk) 23:54, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Come on now! Do you really think that referencing each individual route from the OC Transpo web site does anything for a station article? Secondarywaltz (talk) 21:14, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

For example, this http://www.octranspo1.com/images/files/station_pdf/TFO.pdf tells you everything you need to know about Terry Fox Station without all those timetables. Secondarywaltz (talk) 21:26, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Better? BigBenzino (talk) 21:31, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Here is an easier way to add colour to the Ottawa bus routes using templates

98, 105, 107, 261

I don't know what those colors mean, but you seem to want to add them to OC Transpo stations. Secondarywaltz (talk) 21:56, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I did not even know Wikipedia supported that! :O The colours have to do with the operating times of the routes, but that would make things much cleaner! BigBenzino (talk) 00:27, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Where is OC Transpo Route 91 covered? I can't find an article about it. You have created templates for it but there is a red link to the line. Secondarywaltz (talk) 00:55, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is no article yet because I haven't had time to create it. I have been updating the station pages for the past few hours, but I will do the page now to prevent further confusion. BigBenzino (talk) 00:58, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Should be fixed now! BigBenzino (talk) 01:13, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is a new article for the OC Transpo Canadian Tire Centre Station. It needs to be upgraded with the kind of information that you have added to similar articles, including references. Secondarywaltz (talk) 19:42, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'll get on that asap. Thank you for the heads up! BigBenzino (talk) 20:26, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Are there any more stations with structure that need to have articles added? I don't mean the ones that are just a curbside bus stop, like the Kanata North terminus of Route 93. Secondarywaltz (talk) 20:33, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Now I see that 93 terminates at the Richcraft Recreation Complex. But that article does not exist either. Secondarywaltz (talk) 20:58, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited OC Transpo, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page GMC (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).
