    Please excuse the delay - it's now up :) https://dudewheresmybusmap.wordpress.com/2019/03/22/a-new-map-for-2019-made-by-someone-else/

    Wow. Nicely done. Would you mind if we re-posted this (with credit and links!) to https://dudewheresmybusmap.wordpress.com/blog/? This is really high quality. I think I always knew that (especially as compared to our "connect the dots on GoogleMaps...) but I appreciate it even more now that...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Thank you for posting this; and to all who have discussed! The discourse around Niagara - "that there is no GO unless there's a GO *train*" - has been bugging me for years. It sort of boiled over during the weekend, resulting in that blog post. The goal was to reach 1) at least a few people...

    Behold another characteristic of Ontario bus travel: variation by day of the week. Four days/week it's true, there's only one Kingston-Ottawa bus. Then on Saturdays there are two, while on Fridays and Sundays there are three. At least in this case the variation follows an easy to remember...

    Can anyone figure out what these routes are? I checked travel from Pearson to Niagara Falls and found trip times that varied between 1h45 and 4h40. For an example, see the bottom of...

    I take it that you're writing this from the Peterborough perspective? I ask because I'm writing from Niagara, another spoke where this might be the case. As a rider, I'm far less concerned about who "takes the market", and far more concerned about how many places we can get to, how easily, and...

    This is awesome. I was just about to correct you about the frequency on Megabus's Hamilton-Kitchener route (I thought it had been chopped with St. Catharines-Hamilton) when I checked it: 3-4 buses/day. Thanks for picking up on that! There are a few inaccuracies on here, but you might already be...

    It is disturbing to me/expected by me that the press release was heavy on costs and light on the implications of trashing the mobility options of Saskatchewanians. Makes me wonder how Brad Wall will put "those funds...to better use elsewhere in government”?

    We identified 7 different types of "Toronto-Kitchener" runs - and could even be convinced to count this differently (e.g., some go to UWaterloo, some continue to London). It's almost like a numbered GO bus route where there are branches A-F, except that Greyhound doesn't identify them as such...

    Thanks! FantasticT.O. had the right location for CanAr, but I was thrown off by the "171 Queen" address on the schedule. I presume that the bus starts here before going to the Kincardine Holiday Inn (when Tornoto airport bound); please let me know if I have it backwards.

    Thanks for that heads up. I'm having trouble placing the mistake and the improvement. The second "b" in Bracebridge is, for me, at the location of the Ecclestone Drive Bridge (named Hwy 16 on Google Maps). Could you please give the precise name of the mistaken stop/station and confirm or refute...

    I have added GB Airbus to the map. There are a few aspects that confuse me: that there is "a branch" through Markdale and another through Durham. Also, nearly half the stops identified on their 2016 schedule are at locations that do not exist on GoogleMaps (according to their name). I was...

    This is a great pickup - essentially the same arrangement as RobertQ Airbus running from Sarnia to London. The fares are high but...it meets all the definitions of what we were looking for; adding it to the map right now.

    Don’t worry – we are on the same page, so suggest away. A truly comprehensive map, that was still legible, would be a tricky undertaking. T.O.Fanatic and I made an agreement to “slow burn” this issue, devoting small blocks of time, over time. And neither of us are particularly proficient...

    Thanks for the feedback and for this tip. I get the impression that we have the right location of the terminal, but guessed the wrong pathway for the Greyhound buses from Toronto. I have changed the routing, but am not sure that I have it right: how do the buses stop to the south of Regent? Did...

    Not yet. I would like to have some discussion and allies behind the issue first. Now that we have some public dialogue, I'm willing to entertain suggestions as to how to approach the Province. None of us benefit from a private email thread with a polite reply from someone at the MTO saying that...

    I realize now in seeing this comment that what we are doing mismatches the thread’s title for two reasons: 1. Our goal was not comprehensiveness, but instead to present services that have no maps (or shockingly bad ones) and are absent from network wayfinding tools (e.g., GoogleTransit)...

    Wow - our expectations for striking conversation about public transport in Ontario were pretty low. The new maps, history, corrections, questions, and clarifications generated here within a few days were what we were foreseeing over about a month! We have explained the mapping decisions we made...
