Union says understaffing led to LRT shutdown during weekend

Ottawa's LRT Lines 1 and 4 were interrupted over the weekend because of staffing issues, with the operators' union warning that understaffing is creating workplace pressure. The incident points to operational strain rather than a financial event, but it raises reliability concerns for the transit system. Market impact is likely limited and localized.
