If you live in Ottawa and are affected by the ongoing OC Transpo bus strike, you can opt for the carpool option. With the strike in its 36th day as of today, seems like it is going to take some time to get the both sides to compromise at some point.  Anyhow, common man's routine is getting disrupted because of this strike. The temperature doesn't help either. It is -37 degrees currently, and is going to be much lower tomorrow.  

If you are looking to find the carpool or rideshare services, you can find local services by searching the popular classifieds sites. One of the sites that can be used for such a service is: http://www.khrido.com/ Along with many other categories, they have carpool and ride share category. You can post or search for available and wanted carpool services in and around the area where you live.
