Grand River Transit

[BuildingScout]

Stop trying to force people out of their cars which only makes them into enemies of public transit and instead provide reliable, comfortable transit and people will choose it as an alternative to their first or second car. We have seen this at the University of Waterloo, where increase in demand for student parking has been well below student population growth ever since the iXpress came to town.

I don’t see anything wrong with saying that we collectively should have the goal of lower car usage and higher transit and that the way to do that is to make transit a more viable option, and car usage a less viable option.

I have issues with the "less viable" part of your statement. For example, as rangersfan related, I have a big issue with making cars less viable for someone whose trip in a car is 15min while on a bus is 1hr10min.  Apart from being a hassle to rangersfan personally, this is also bad for society in terms of productivity.

I too would like more people to use public transit, which is why I've been a strong proponent of fast frequent buses on the main routes. This is the type of transit that makes people voluntarily surrender their cars.
