This is all good news, but I'm an impatient man and it's quite disheartening to think that in five years Hurontario and Dundas will both still be in the "pre-rapid transit" phase and we'll only have a questionable BRT to show for it.
They are not calling it "rapid transit" though are they?
Heh, route 8. I've had terrible luck with that one. It's up to half hour service now during the day, 20ish minutes during rush hour, and about an hour on Saturday. Still no Sunday service yet but it has always been a crap route. I favourite memory of it happened a few weeks ago. Cawthra Secondary School is 70% commuter students, of which about 50% are public transit riders so there's about about 400 students waiting for the bus during that terrible weather we got a few weeks ago. Usually 15 (non-scheduled) 8Ns come in 15 mins and 2 8Ss come in 20 minutes. MT decides to cancel the 8 so there's litterally hundreds of students trying to figure out how to get home. They decided to send 8Ns and I've never seen soo many people fit on one bus (easily 100+ on each). The 8S comes about an hour later, just as packed. It was a terrible day overall.Hey, not as bad as my old bus line, I think it was the 88 that came by every hour. It would go along Indian Rd, then drive eventually to Port Credit GO.
It's a joke and will keep people in their cars.
We need more parking for transit is the call from council.
Hurontario will be an BRT not an LRT based on this plan.
especially the ones that have the doors where you just need to wave your hand in front of the thingy.
while VIVA has always come off to me as being branded more of a separate system.
