RE: Grand River Transit - MidTowner - 12-16-2016

When I finally noticed it, it seemed less artificial somehow. I'm not sure if I want to start referring to an artificial voice as "sultry" or "throaty" or the like, but those aren't inaccurate. It was definitely lower-pitched.'
On balance, I don't like the change because it seemed less audible to me, for whatever reason. Even after I noticed it and was listening for just how it differed, I missed it several times because of road noise. There's more road noise this week than most, but it still seemed more difficult to hear.

Right, I keep thinking of Toronto streetcars. You're correct, but there may be standalone tap points at busier stations/those with multiple entrances.
RE: Grand River Transit - Pheidippides - 12-21-2016
I managed to get a recording of the new voice. Apologies for the quality.

Oooooooo that's nice! Thanks Pheidippides!

I'm definitely growing on the new voice - the tone does a better job of cutting through other noise (engine sounds, heater fans, conversation) so you don't miss the message.

She's no Randi Miller (
), but she's not bad. 
...and ugh, I just realized that I bet someone is going to come on here, lamenting the fact that she happens to work in a car dealership. The horrors!

Well, I guess we'll never know if someone would have done something so tangential, since you brought it up first.

Region approves 3 per cent tax hike
http://www.therecord.com/news-story/7061688-region-approves-3-per-cent-tax-hike/
"Transit improvements had an easier ride, with about $4.6 million in new annual spending up for debate. Staff broke the options down into three bundles, and two will be implemented in 2017. The third bundle will be brought back for the 2018 budget process."
Anyone know what the bundles were?

RE: Grand River Transit - Markster - 01-12-2017
To be clear:
The 205 Ottawa St iXpress has been postponed to Sept 2018.
RE: Grand River Transit - dunkalunk - 01-12-2017
I think we can infer that LRT opening has also been pushed to Sept 2018. The Ottawa iXpress is supposed to coincide with ION opening.
RE: Grand River Transit - timio - 01-12-2017
Looks like early 2018.
.@mikeboos @srlake @KenSeiling @DaveJaworsky Bundles 1+2. 3 to come back with an early 2018 implementation and possible 2018 pre-approval.
