Bike Walk Bus Toronto

Happy Saturday! I have previously wrote on my blog about how I think that GO Transit's service disruptions are poorly thought-out , and ineffective substitutions to the rail services that they supposedly replace. This weekend, GO proved that they had not learned any lessons when service was replaced on the UP Express. In this blog post, I will outline my issues with this weekend's service replacement, and how GO can work at more effectively replacing their rail service in the future. Again. The Service Offered When the UP Express is replaced by buses, GO offers their route 35. This bus operates from the corner of Station St and York Street, and terminates at Pearson Airport Terminal 1. This service operates every 30 minutes, with estimated travel times from between 30 minutes and 50 minutes. These buses do not serve Bloor and Weston Stations, but the Kitchener Line was able to provide the service towards Union this weekend (although passengers had to use TTC to get to Pearson)....

TTC is not the only agency in the GTA to operate them, and Durham Region Transit implemented their three seasonal offerings. I had never taken the 100 Waterfront Shuttle, so I took a trip to the Pickering Waterfront today. I think that while providing transit here is commendable, Durham Region Transit's target customer for this service means that it will be underutilized and will not resolve the issues that they themselves identified at the waterfront. The Route Route 100 operates a loop route from Pickering Parkway Terminal to the intersection of Liverpool and Annland. At Pickering Parkway Terminal, passengers can connect to other DRT routes, including the 916, and may walk across the pedestrian bridge to reach Pickering GO Station. The route operates on weekends and holidays only, from 12pm to 9pm. Service is every 20 minutes, and is not timed with the GO train. The route does not charge a fare. Si...
