Guelph Transit
#1
Is there no other forum topic for this? Anyway...

http://www.guelphmercury.com/news-story/...h-transit/

To get to a 1.58% tax increase, Guelph Transit is going to boost cash fares by 33%, ticket fares by 17%, passes by 7%, and affordable passes by 7% as well.

Also, service for Sundays, holidays, and summer (May-Aug or Jul-Aug?) will be reduced from every 30 minutes to every 60 minutes.

So if you are taking transit to work, during summer, you can expect that each day of the week you'll need another 15 minutes for your trip to and trip from work. If there's a transfer, another 15 minutes on average as well. You'll probably want to budget even more time in advance of your bus, to be sure you don't miss it. So for an 8h workday, we'd see you spending 45min to 1h+ extra each summer day. This is a great plan if you want to kill transit and further marginalize the lives of anyone dependent on it.
