Please no. Is there that much subway demand before 8 AM on Sundays?
I don't take 300 BD buses at 6am on Sundays often, but when I do they are packed. The last time I did the driver had to refuse people between Pape and Broadview where I got off to transfer to the 504.
I'm surprised. I was on 506 at about 5:30 AM on a Sunday coming from near Main recently, and it was so empty the regulars were greeting each other, and lightening fast. If 300 is that full, I wonder how many would be better off changing to 506 at Main, or just walking south to 506 instead of north to the BD.
At that hour of the morning and given the capriciousness of Nextbus (the accuracy of which TTChelps disclaimed as not their problem when I tweeted a glitch to them one Sunday morning despite the fact the same info is displayed on shelters!) I guess some would rather get further into the city before chancing a transfer.
I've had some issues with "ghost 300s" that suddenly disappear 2-3 mins out, and the issue I mentioned up thread was where a car was about to leave Broadview on the 505 (which the 504 operator alerted those waiting at Gerrard to) but the display was something like a 15-20 min wait. I've also noticed it finds vehicles coming into service from short turns (Dundas-Parliament) hard to figure out. It beats the hell out of the nothing we had before, of course!
There are some tricky spots. One of the advantages of being near the Main loop, is that once it's headed north up Coxwell, there's no where else to go, so you know what's coming.
Believe it or not I don't have Twitter... I'll just email that ward's councillor (Cressy I believe).
