Why reduce LRT service?

Why is OC Transpo planning to reduce LRT frequency in September just as students go back to school and public servants are forced to increase the number of days in the office?

News has leaked that OC Transpo plans to reduce the frequency of the LRT during “quiet” parts of the day, basically between 9am and 3pm.

    They dont have enough staff. They are struggling to keep drivers so are giving them 6hr days 5days/wk with top up pay as incentive.
