    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    The fact that the bus terminal isn't being used as much now because of the trains running is both a good and bad thing. This means that bus resources can be used elsewhere on the network where they are needed. On the other hand this also makes the multi million dollar terminal mostly unusable...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Surprised there aren't any GO buses that go to the Seneca Finch campus despite the 41 GO buses basically passing nearby on the 404. Most Post Secondary campuses in Toronto don't get serviced directly by GO but in those cases there are the Subways, and Streetcars/LRT that most students rely on in...

    The full all day trips to Barrie and Stouffville reinstated again on the weekends makes this change the first time that all 5 currently planned GO RER lines (+ UPX as a bonus) are running all day minimum hourly, 7 days a week. That is one step closer to getting more services on each of the lines...

    I feel like they should actually put them in the bathrooms and maybe also near the garbage bins between the set of stairs. Their location at the doors are a little infuriating when you're on a crowded standing room only train and the automatic sensors keep going off in them releasing sanitizer...

    TTC: Jane (LRT) RapidTO

    Finch will probably appeal more to west end riders who are far from the subway. Martin Grove, Kipling, and Islington corridor riders might just transfer more often to the LRT. Weston, Jane, and Driftwood riders are about 50/50 as the Steeles and Sheppard corridor buses aren't too far from their...

    TTC: Jane (LRT) RapidTO

    Think that some of you are also missing the point. The LRT won't only appeal to just the ridership that exists on Finch, but will also attract to new riders that will now take the LRT to get to the Subway or Humber/York U for example. As the 36 bus is being fully replaced, most of the 42k riders...

    Fun facts, 30A is just the old routing of the 30 before the Syntex and Financial Dr stops got implemented. 56A is what the old 52A route was just now with Sq One and Bramalea added to it. Definitely agree with needing another counter peak train around that time. If they could also fix the 90...

    The changes are up on the site. At this point, just like BT, MiWay, YRT, HSR, etc, I just knew that GO would also have extremely underwhelming sets of changes as well. It’s funny how they ran much better service during the middle of the pandemic in September of 2021.

    Not sure how it is on the other lines, maybe LSW comes close behind as the problem lies mainly on the Kitchener Line. Brampton seems to be the center of where most food delivery couriers on bikes originate from. Aside from the GO train, there aren’t any other options that come close to getting...

    If only GO wasn’t allergic to servicing Toronto locations aside from their own bus terminals at Union/Yorkdale/Finch etc, then this could’ve easily been solved by running a shuttle bus starting from Weston and allowing riders from Bloor to ride free on UPX to this stop, or better yet run an...

    The bike problem continues at all time high for the Kitchener Line.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Maybe they should work it out to have at least minimum 10 car trains at all times for the Kitchener weekend service including a bike coach. It will certainly make a night and day difference. They could also just introduce 30 min service to/from Bramalea for both weekdays and weekends as well but...

    miWay Transit

    103 and Zum 502 are the heavy hitters for basically the entire routing of the 17. As for the Zum recently, there is never a bus where it isn't at least near over capacity already to the point where the effects last even well past Downtown Brampton. Splitting the 19 in half was probably what...

    VIVA + York Region Transit

    There is actually close to 24 hour service on Highway 7. The last westbound bus leaving Finch on weekdays is 2:23AM and it picks back up at 4:30AM. Literally one trip in between 3-3:30 and doing the same in the opposite direction will basically make the route 24/7.

    Niagara Region Transit Discussion Thread

    Does anyone know what the fares are like for the regional routes that travel to more than one zone? Its stated that if you're within the boundaries of one municipality you only pay $3, but if your stop is outside of it, you pay $6. Like if starting in Thorold and my stop is in Welland which is...

    Brampton Transit/Zum

    Mostly understand where you all are coming from and they make sense, but imo there’s still barely any change where it matters and a lot of questionable decisions still. Just like Miway and YRT, BT just put up their changes today, its actually not all bad...

    Or they could also start it from various other locations. The main source which is the 30 at Bramalea should get the most increase out of all of this, while other locations can be explored like originating and going straight express from 407 Station, Kipling, Yorkdale, Milton, or Aldershot (an...

    Brampton Transit/Zum

    The September changes can be seen from the Transit app and all I can say is… This is probably the worst ‘change’ I have ever seen come out of BT, if you can even call it that as they don’t improve on anything at all and it’s embarrassing. No York U evening/weekend service, no increase on Sunday...

    Oh clearly forgot GO's own buses use yellow strips as a way to request to stop which begs my confusion and develops my point even further. Brampton and Mt Pleasant are both communities that are pedestrian friendly and does have bike lanes on specific roads near the stations, while Bramalea...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    That exact yellow tape is a thing that exists within the 905 agencies to request to stop, along with the yellow line and the more usual stop button. Zum buses for example have both yellow tape and the button as stop requests in both their 40 and 60ft buses. Don’t know why they made the tape have...
