RE: Grand River Transit - jamincan - 11-21-2017 I thought I'd correct nms's table, since a lot of the figures come from different sources or years and there are a few villages/places that were missing. Using only 2016 data, these are the population figures for the villages and towns in the region.
RE: Grand River Transit - bgb_ca - 11-21-2017 (11-21-2017, 12:35 AM)KevinL Wrote: Spotted at Charles Terminal: this new service desk near the top of the escalators. Will this be where the new farecard is dispensed?This may be temporary. When I asked them a few months ago about the card launch, they mentioned they were going to renovate the current ticket counter area. RE: Grand River Transit - KevinL - 11-21-2017 Ahh - so this could become the temporary ticket office while the original is renovated... I hope the renovation isn't too involved, they'll be moving to the transit hub relatively soon. RE: Grand River Transit - Canard - 11-21-2017 Well... it could be in 3 years, or it could be 10... nobody knows. RE: Grand River Transit - KevinL - 11-21-2017 I thought a date like 2022 or so was set for completion of the transit components? RE: Grand River Transit - Canard - 11-21-2017 I've read anything from 2020 to 2030, now. I'm certainly not holding my breath! RE: Grand River Transit - Pheidippides - 11-21-2017 I've always thought having the service counter tucked away up top and hidden from the public was a bit strange. Shouldn't they be phasing it out? Based on the 2018 network map only the 34 will stop there. Plus, they are building that $250,000 GRT customer service storefront on Frederick (reference 1, reference 2). Maybe they are transferring the Charles equipment there and leaving a bare minimum at Charles going forward?

Where on Frederick? RE: Grand River Transit - Pheidippides - 11-21-2017 No idea. I'm am going to guess one of the units in the Market Square mall that back on to Frederick. Would be nice to reanimate that stretch with some shop windows and doors. RE: Grand River Transit - KevinL - 11-22-2017 The old post office unit has a door to the street (the mail trucks would use it)... RE: Grand River Transit - KevinL - 11-22-2017 Quite a milestone!
RE: Grand River Transit - Canard - 11-22-2017 Are the cards coming out next month? RE: Grand River Transit - KevinL - 11-22-2017 January launch was the word; cards should be ready before then, I would think. RE: Grand River Transit - KevinL - 11-23-2017 GRT rolls out buses with driver shields Quote: Grand River Transit has just received two new buses, the first in the fleet to be outfitted with barriers to protect drivers from violence while on the job. RE: Grand River Transit - DHLawrence - 11-24-2017 Not a bad addition. |
