Grand River Transit

[MidTowner]

I'd certainly argue against a suburban commuter ideal of the route, in fact, I'd say that it fails that goal as well. This route should be our Bloor Subway. Nice, even 500~700m stop spacing across town, hitting the major cross-corridors.

I consider 500 meters to be very tight spacing. If we assume a preferred walking speed for most people of around 5kph, 250 meters is only a three minute walk. People are willing to walk much further than that for good service. Having to stop every 500-700 meters makes speed difficult.
