Ottawa police say a call related to the item came in at 11:11 a.m. on Tuesday.
They say the bus is now vacant as investigators on the scene are assessing the nature of the unusual package.
OC Transpo initially took to Twitter to say the bus loop was closed and confirmed that transport would be available on Holland Avenue, instead.
In another update at around 12:00 p.m., police confirmed that Tunney’s Pasture was fully closed due to “ongoing police activity.”
Officials also confirmed that staff are on-site to help commuters and other services are still up and running.
