Mayor Jim Dept: The draft budget calls for $30 million in transit cuts over the next two years. The proposed cuts include $7.2 million this year and $23 million in 2012, according to CTV. "Some may have less service, but some are going to have better service because right now we have a lot of milk runs that go in and out of communities. They're not particularly effective," Watson told Ottawa on Wednesday and ottawa Mayor Jim Watson is defending his draft budget, stressing that OC Transpo needs to undergo some major changes that will affect service to some bus routes. Watson told Ottawa on Wednesday "there's no question" that millions of dollars in cuts will affect service. However, he adds that some people will also get better service because of the changes. As
