I notice that one of the reasons that they cited for lower ridership numbers was changes in school board transportation policies. If the school boards shift more students towards free school buses and away from student GRT specials, does that influence long-term transit ridership growth? For instance, is a student with a GRT bus pass more likely to explore the GRT system outside of their typical route rather than a student who is more used to riding the school bus?
