I think the latest was just taking advantage of catching the 200 on Weber, but now that is gone he's back to using the 4.
I know there was also the 18 in that area at one time, but I never used it so I'm not sure if there were additional changes that would have affected him as well.
My big takeaway is that some people still think transit routes should be milk runs through every low-density neighbourhood despite the high cost and low-quality service that results. But I do recognize that I am looking at it from the position of being able-bodied and willing to walk in all weather conditions.
Ah, they've updated the article, and included the radio audio now.
It looks like he's at Moore/Guelph, judging by the buildings in the picture. It's true, he lost service when they consolidated the 4 and 18. And he was clearly surprised when the 200 stopped servicing Weber/Guelph. He might not realize that #7 is running again on King St.
It's unfortunate but true, there will be the occasional person put out by the route changes. If 100 people have their commute improved, it's worth a few having an impact.
