Yep. I now have to take two different buses to get to UW station and then transfer to a third one from there. Somehow the buses I take park at opposite ends of the transit plaza, and there is quite a long walk between bus platforms. If I wanted to ride ION, a bus stopping at Waterloo Park station might save me some time.
So I guess this is mostly just me griping about the inconvenience of my personal transit journey.
I mean, isn't that really what it's all about? Who cares if there are buses or trains if they don't go to useful places? And everyone's concept of 'useful' is a little different. I emailed the City of Waterloo this week about whether or not they plan to expand the active transit facilities in some of the industrial parks, because that would be useful to me, but I know that most people wouldn't care at all.
