Okay so it was a bad analogy.
Still, what do you propose for passenger who wish to connect form the Hurontario LRT to a non-transitway bus at Square One?
If I am reading you correctly, then you are suggesting that people take a transitway bus to make that connection. Am I correct?
If not, please clarify. If so, then I respectfully disagree on the grounds that it would take five minutes to make a transfer when it could only take the time needed to walk across the platform.
Hmm, sorry. Perhaps this does need clarification after all.
I was talking about a secondary bus terminal at Hurontario/Rathburn to serve both the LRT and the BRT.
There would be no need for riders of the LRT to transfer to get to Square One. If people want to get to Square One, they can get off at Robert Speck, which many riders of the 19 already do.
If routes 6, 9, 28, and 61 are extended to the secondary bus terminal, then there would be absolutely no reason for riders of the LRT to get to the current bus terminal. Because every other route, including the GO/BRT routes, can continue to serve the current terminal and they would still all connect to the Hurontario LRT at the same time, at various points. For example, the 53 connect to the LRT at Robert Speck, the 3 and 8 at Elm, the 20 and 65 at Rathburn, etc.
And as I pointed out before, the current terminal is overcapacity anyways, and taking out 6, 9, 19, 28, and 61 would help a lot. All of them, except the 19, which would be completely eliminated by the LRT, would still serve the current terminal, but would not enter it, stopping on the street only.
This is the best solution for both MT and the riders. It is the cheapest and it would be the most convenient.
