94 boardings per hour during peaks, highest of all routes. This data is likely from September 2023, peak frequency was increased from 12 mins to 10 mins as of December service changes.The 3 is my main bus route and it is quite busy, which aligns with this data. Connecting two LRT stations (Stadium and Kingsway/Royal Alex) and a major transit centre (Westmount), plus major employers (Royal Alex and Kingsway) will do that.
Admin Response:The development of a transportation improvement strategy and activation plan should include the following:
1. A feasibility study relating to extending routes and service hours for current bus and LRT services. This should be led by the Nighttime Alliance in collaboration with key transportation stakeholders and representatives to produce a feasibility report.
- ETS regularly monitors transit service needs and makes adjustments as part of an Annual Service Plan, using the Council approved Transit Service Policy C539A, supported by Transit Service Standards and budget
- Expanding Owl late night service is not prioritized relative to other needs in the network and gaps between service levels and service standards.
- There are fleet, staff and budget constraints as well as low ridership demand, that prevent the expansion of span of service.
