RE: Grand River Transit - Pheidippides - 09-07-2015 So I confirmed with a 204 driver this morning the eastbound stops at queen/homewood and queen/Brock. The new 1, 2, and 204 will use the new stop at queen/Brock while the 8 will continue to use the existing stop at queen/homewood. RE: Grand River Transit - Waterlooer - 09-07-2015 Anyone else notice that they added the King at Victoria stop on the 200 again? This must be the first day. Very glad they readded this stop.

I had a look at them, and on the signposts, I saw: (eastbound) Brock: 204, 1, 2, 8 (I didn't get a close look, but it was an iXpress post with 3 additional routes) Homewood: 1, 2, 8 (unchanged) The stops are just as ridiculously close together as it looks like on a map.

Very glad they readded this stop. Is this true? It's not on the schedule. Maybe it's by request only? RE: Grand River Transit - Waterlooer - 09-07-2015 Yeah I'm 100% certain! The automated announcement announced it. Plus there was one of the iXpress stop signs that says the 6, 204 and 200 stop there. The 200 didn't stop or announce Joseph at water. The bus went down Weber, right on Victoria, left on king, right on Ontario. But if you look at the fall schedule, the Victoria stop isn't listed. RE: Grand River Transit - MidTowner - 09-08-2015 Thanks for the confirmation! I'm very glad to hear that. Hopefully the GRT amends the schedule. RE: Grand River Transit - Pheidippides - 09-18-2015 "ION BRT Interior Bus Feature Ideas GRT is exploring a number of interior bus features that may be incorporated in the ION branded buses, expected to arrive in 2017 pending Regional Council approval. These features, shown below, will help make your commute more comfortable and convenient. Please take the survey below and rank what features are most important to you." http://www.grt.ca/en/travelwithus/ION-Interior-Bus-Survey.asp RE: Grand River Transit - Canard - 09-19-2015 Has anyone ever gotten a tour of the new(ish) facility GRT built over in the Laurentian Power Centre area? It's such a beautiful building (those clerestory windows are fantastic); I'd love to see the inside some day.

You should suggest it to the Doors Open folks. RE: Grand River Transit - KevinL - 09-30-2015 Ridership to Conestoga College is apparently significantly higher this year - the frequency on the 110 is being increased from every 30 mins to every 20. RE: Grand River Transit - gomesjustin - 10-01-2015 This Fall broke records at Conestoga Doon Campus for enrolment numbers I was told. That would explain the influx of usage at Doon. RE: Grand River Transit - Markster - 10-06-2015 The new Electronic Payment fare card has been announced. "EasyGO Fare Card"
Full announcement: http://www.grt.ca/en/fares/EasyGOFareCard.asp RE: Grand River Transit - KevinL - 10-06-2015 Makes sense to use an existing brand. Would be nice to have the Ion logo on there as well; perhaps it will be on the back? RE: Grand River Transit - Canard - 10-06-2015 Maybe they will put it on in 2 years when service starts.
