Road design, safety and Vision Zero

[danbrotherston]

Yeah, I booked a flight to Toronto with the intention to take transit...only to remember that there is no transit from Toronto to KW on a weekend...and so got to spend 500 on a Toronto hotel.

You could have taken the #40 GO bus from the airport to Square One and the #25 GO bus from there to Kitchener. Not as good as taking the UP Express to the GO train, but it is wrong to say that there is no transit from Toronto to KW on the weekend.

Given I'm traveling with a partner, toddler, six bags, and a stroller...no, there was no transit option for me to get from Pearson to KW.

If I was an individual, perhaps that would have been an option (I've done it before), but not with a family.

Perhaps I should have been specific that there was no transit option "for me" but I'm hardly the only family traveling.

Also, I've seen that bus, I've ridden that bus, I'm fairly confident I wouldn't have even been possible to board with all our stuff, it's very crowded most of the time.

And don't get me wrong, I'm a huge proponent of buses, but I also understand their limitations....especially when severely crowded.
