GRT's got a survey up. https://www.grt.ca/en/about-grt/budget-2...osals.aspx
Interesting that they're running it through their own internal site instead of through Engage.
The questions in the survey are laid out in a way so that you need to give a 1-10 score to an entire category, rather than indicate what you like and don't like about a proposal.

I marked this zero, along with the bus wraps, since trading lower frequency for higher frequency is not something GRT should be doing with service. Also, bus wraps are horrible.

I ended up using the final comment space to clarify my concerns (30m ION, full wraps in general, internal wraps on the LRT?????) and say what I actually liked (120 min instead of 90min for transfers, which will actually let me go somewhere to run an errand and get home again in a single fare).

Does anyone remember what the evening service frequency on the #7 was before the start of ION service?

Yep, very poor survey. Every question has clearly positive and negative things bundled together in a single score. I complained and clarified in the text field response as well.

I also used the text box to provide context. Hopefully enough answers in a similar vein will get the message across.

I made it about 3 questions in before getting bored and closing it. They're going to screw it all up either way so it doesn't really matter.

You can use web.archive.org to get old versions of the route maps.

If I'm reading the 2017 schedule correctly using the link that Bytor provided, after 9:00pm, weekday service was generally 15-minute headways leaving from the Charles Street terminal. Prior to that, departures were every 7-8 minutes during the weekday.

I'm not expert in survey design, but it seems like the way the questions are worded, they can derive any conclusion they would like from the results.

Don't worry, someone helpfully took out the system before the freezing rain arrived.

No, perhaps a more difficult driving test !! This is ridiculous..
From what I see, looks like the SUV might have been traveling the wrong direction and had to take steps to avoid an oncoming vehicle...

If it comes down to painting some steel boxes bright yellow or training/allowing our civil engineers to build the right thing regardless of what councillors say, I’m gonna assume we are going to go with option 1
