GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

[Fritter]

@northern, lol proofreading before posting is obviously not my strong suit, but Metrolinx emails are archived for an eternity
Unfortunately the changes are not 15 minute service, but the pleasant surprises involve the Kitchener line, as well as a new bus route many have been hoping for.
Public revealing of the changes should be happening soon.

In riding the Kitchener line lately, I have noticed that it has become the commuting route of choice for bicycle couriers who work downtown. Etobicoke North seems to be the terminal point for many. 30-40 bikes on a train, the doorways are chock full of bikes.
It almost felt like a Niagara train on a summer Sunday.
I wonder if dedicated bike space on every train is in ML’s plans.

Excellent news; but the longevity of the email may not be pertinent in this circumstance.

Considering we’ve been waiting and asking for close to an eternity, it fits

I’m glad to hear from other posters we might get good Kitchener news. Don’t forget though, the Barrie and Stouffville weekend temporary cuts are also real.

I wonder what the Niagara Service will look like this year.

A Hamilton-K/W via Guelph (highway 6 + 7) bus route would be nice, but that's probably along the line of a fantasy.

Hopefully very short term pain for long term gains!

The Kitchener-Guelph route is very likely given what we’ve seen, but extending that down to McMaster, Aldershot and/or Downtown Hamilton would be amazing.

Whole-heartedly agree. that would connect Wellington/Waterloo to that area plus Niagara. But that would be an extremely big improvement, are GO bus service changes really going to become extremely big improvements? Forgive my pessimism.

I will post all the changes here, one at a time, editing my post as required:

Here's the thing we've been waiting for:

The Barrie Cuts:

Modest Service Enhancement for Milton:

Stouffville Cuts:

***

The number of Bus Changes are too large for this post; and it will also take me a bit to work through them!

 

[innsertnamehere]

biggest changes:

no more weekday off peak service on Barrie and Stouffville
New Kitchener-Guelph-Hamilton bus
New all day service on Kitchener corridor
a few trips added on Kitchener and Milton lines in peak periods
A few trips deleted on LSW and LSE in the early morning and late evening.

I’ll admit… it was hard to keep quiet about this. I have been advocating for it for a long time. I’m so glad the changes are out in the open now. And even more glad to ride the KW-Hammer bus

I'm not sure the Milton stuff will go over well, otherwise major changes.
