Grand River Transit

[Pheidippides]

Fairway Transit Terminal contact tender up for approval. $2,868,292.02 and completion in the infamous "end of spring 2018."

Also up for approval $1,275,280.56 for a bus simulator.


I've noticed a change in how most of the bus drivers are handling the crossing of the Ion tracks and then the GEXR tracks on King right in front of the public square.

Previous to the new traffic signal at the GEXR tracks being activated the drivers would:
-stop at the Ion tracks, check, proceed to GEXR, stop, check, and then go.

Now most of the drivers seem to be:
-driving through the Ion tracks without stopping or checking, stopping at the GEXR tracks, checking, then proceeding.

The problem, as I see it is, and this happened to me twice today, the bus proceeds to stop before the GEXR tracks, and while the driver is the process of doing the check down the tracks, the light turns red, and they stop and wait for the green, but now they are stuck with their back end on the Ion tracks.
