I used to take the 41 from my high school to Markville. This plan would go to neither. I guess taking the 16 bus to McCowan and on down wouldn't be the end of the world, but man was that a convenient bus. I am kinda sad, even if that was like 8 years ago. The Centurian Dr bit is good. I used to...

I'm in agreement with this. Having grown up in and around northeast Scarborough, my (Asian) gut tells me that Olivia Chow wouldn't be outright rejected, especially in favour of a fail-upwards guy like Ford. The area leans slightly left, so I don't really understand where jusbookeh is coming...

Here's another article with this lil nugget: 16-3! Excuse me while I throw up everywhere.

I can't wait for article comments sections to just go completely supernova with the "sympathy for the Layton" narrative next year. Thanks for the sneak peek. Next up: "those inscrutable Asians will vote for the inscrutable Asian"

Way back in the thread, but ughhh: Your understanding of democracy is horrid and leads to politicians like Karen Stintz and her ilk. If this to you is the system succeeding, I'd hate to see what failure looks like. Also, don't be so contemptuous of the planners, engineers and transit policy...

Someone asked? I don't know where he or she lives in York, so I just wanted to cover all the bases for everyone. Unless you are asking why, for example, someone from Markham has 5 possible councillors to contact. If there is a list of regional councillors that are specifically on a transit...

Okay here we go, York Regional Council e-mails: Aurora Mayor Geoffrey Dawe: mayor@aurora.ca East Gwillimbury Mayor Virginia Hackson: vhackson@eastgwillimbury.ca Georgina Mayor Robert Grossi: rgrossi@georgina.ca Regional Councillor Danny Wheeler (Deputy Mayor): dwheeler@georgina.ca King Mayor...

Cool, and when ridership drops even further after the fare increase? $5.00 cash fare? Starve the beast indeed...

Cool, thanks. That makes more sense. All the members of the Regional Council are here. Clicking the links to each city/town will get you to their respective pages. I was going off of the city of Markham page for the e-mails. I don't have the time now, but later tonight I could go through...

I got an encouraging response from Markham's Deputy Mayor Jack Heath within a couple of minutes of me sending him, and other Markham councillors, an e-mail on the fare hike. That's definitely a thing. Can anyone comment on how the rest of the Regional Council behaves with regards to transit...

As someone who lives and takes the bus in Markham, I feel pretty motivated (and have the time) to do something about this. I've already suggested it as a story for the local free newspaper (Markham Economist) and plan to e-mail some councillors. Can anyone recommend other courses of action?
