I noticed in the finance agenda for committee this week that GRT ridership is projected to be down again; that would be two years in a row. I'm sure the Record will manage to make a crisis out of it somehow.
"GRT conventional fare revenue YTD is trending 8.6% below 2015 budgeted levels in part due to the decision by the Waterloo Region District School Board to adjust bell times in order to redeploy its own fleet of buses on a second route at the beginning and end of the school day."

Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
