Next open house for the Hurontario Corridor is on or about Dec 9. LRT is the recommendation subject to Metrolinx approval.
This is good news (see, I do support LRT).

Route 8 change will take place in Dec with 8 doing Port Credit to Sq One. Route 14 will replace 8 for rest of 8 route as well 37A.
MT ridership actually decreased 3% in 2008 and further decrease is expected for 2009, so I am glad council does not support service cuts or fare increase, despite the revenue shortfall that the ridership loss has caused.
2010 buses have been order without going to council and we are getting ""HELL"" Orion VII Hybirds
Ratburn ROW construction starts next year.
what exactly is this for?
Getting buses to/from the terminals.
Traffic will be a single lane and I can hear it now from the car folks.
The funny part, there has been no EA for this ROW to date unless I have been sleeping too long.
Expect long delays during construction.
Will the Rathburn ROW eventually become part of the BRT line?
MT announce the 101 Oakvile Express. The 201 not being cancelled as I expect, it will be become coordinated with the 101, similar to the way the 102/202 are. Combined 101 and 201 Oakvile and Dundas Express will have 10 minute frequency east of UTM. Which is not only a decrease in service west of Westdale (from 7-15 minutes to 20 minutes) but also in the peak direction east of Westdale (from 7-9 minutes to 10 minutes). At least that is my understanding based on the description (no schedule posted yet). I am not sure how they are going have the 201 have equal frequency in both directions since it is interlined with the 230 (a unidirectional route), among other routes.
But why introduce the 101 in October? Why not introduce it in September before school starts? Why not introduce all routes at the same time? They all always spread the major changes out, I think is part of the reason why ridership declined in 2008. They make major changes 5 times a year and the printed map is only updated twice a year and so riders don't what is going on.
The first Orion 1003 is here and look at the top.

It's a Photoshop job. The wiseguy on the other forum decided to not make it clear.
Ain't technology grand. Another member decided to make one as well:

All MT buses are black, orange, and white... I guess all MT buses are disgusting???
That bus actually looks much better than any other MT bus, though I still prefer the New Flyer buses.
