Grand River Transit

[timc]

Not to be pessimistic, but I don't see willingness in the short term of GRT to place an iXpress route on Weber which has the potential beat the end-to-end run time of ION on opening day. While a trunk route running the length of Weber (possibly diverting to serve Hazel, WLU, and the Transit Hub) certainly makes a lot of sense and would serve a lot of trips, making this an iXpress route has the potential to draw ridership away from the ION corridor instead of to the ION corridor.

I'll be pessimistic here too. I don't remember why I have the impression, but I've gotten the feeling that GRT was kind of meh with regard to aligning service with ION.
