Grand River Transit

[Bytor]

65+ year old women aren't going to be cycling or scootering around the city like a child, they want a bus and that's what needs the most drastic improvement.

You show your contempt of cycling with this ignorant use of stereotypes.

They can allow a young office worker to work dry and warm, rather than wet or sweaty.

It is perfectly possoble to cycle to work without getting sweaty.

They allow you to carry home your groceries or haul on a stroller.

You do know what panniers and bike baskets are? Or bike trailers? Or maybe not, as that ignorant statement suggests.

There's so much more versatility and I wish we would see more money put into that instead of bullshit like downtown cycling grids and other novelties for the extremely tiny minority of Lycra wearing dorks who make cycling their entire personality.

Ah yes, the insults of the confidently ignorant who can't argue with facts and logic.

That they didn't really improve anything after the launch of the LRT is a real shame.

Somehow you were blind to the whole realignment of routes once ION service started? Because how else would you make that ignorant statement?

But I guess that whole project just showed how little our leaders understand what they're doing. Trip times for buses barely changed.

Average trip times dropped. The example I always give is Williamsburg to Downtown. Even with a transfer at Block Line station the trip to DTK is five minute shorter than it used to be with no transfer.

Routes were cut.

Which ones?

or knowing when the next bus will come unless you happen to have enough money for a smartphone and data connection.

Because you and only you know how to solve the age-old problem of transit scheduling with chaotic variables like traffic congestion and boardings such that busses always arrive when a paper schedule says they will. LOL.

What a bunch of horse puckey.
