According to an Ottawa Sun report, the 106 will reconnect the hospital loop all day beginning December 28 (at least on weekdays). IMO, weekend service is probably not necessary on the loop since ridership then was really low, but midday service is a must and evening service would be good on there as well. A few other trips are being added on the fly to trips that have been perpetually overcrowded as well.
My 2012 plan tries to correct key issues, set the stage for the LRT (some of the changes are really notable, like realigning/renumbering the 85 and splitting the 86 and 87 with completely different numbers) and create key "corridors" by running higher frequency routes on major transit corridors to develop ridership to a better degree. The goal would be to make it all revenue neutral though, so there will be drawbacks for some, but I would try to make the positives outweigh the negatives without increasing the budget.
VERY preliminary, but I propose a lot of individual route changes.

ELIMINATED routes in my current idea for 2012: 27, 37, 41, 85, 86, 87, 127, 143, 156, 159, 164, 169, 174, 178, 182, 185, 192, 194, 261, 262, 263
