I think we can all agree about that. Edit: in response to tomh009's comment
Back on topic, I like Dunkalunk's proposal for the local routes. I particularly think that switching the 4 to Margaret and the 8 to Weber makes a lot of sense. That jog in the 8 reduces its legibility and utility. The jog is specifically because Breithaupt Centre needs bus service, which it does, but it sacrifices the potential ridership advances by having a “Weber bus” that actually takes Weber for an appreciable distance, and is somewhat frequent. I view the 4 as an almost-purely “coverage” or “survival route” (the neighbourhoods it serves need something according to coverage standards, so there they go), so running it down Margaret makes sense to me.
I’m less sure about breaking up the 8’s loops in that way. It seems like it should stay on Weber east of Victoria.
