Quote:@GRT_ROW is there more information available about your perspective on this issue?

No response.

Probably because whomever is monitoring the Twitter channel is not authorized to comment on that/does not know. He should have reached out to GRT management instead.

PDF schedules for all the new services are up: https://www.grt.ca/en/schedules-maps/schedules.aspx

From a design standpoint, it's curious that they don't put the Ion logo on either of its services, and emphasize service number (301/302) over the name.

Interesting. Some of those routes have altered Holiday service (e.g. 7 is every 30 mins on holidays vs. 15 on Sundays) or no holiday service at all (e.g. Route 4 has Sunday service, but no holiday service).

Still no GTFS update though.

This is the terminal closure notice. In addition to sandwich boards like this it’s probably on almost half of the posts and vertical surfaces in the terminal.

Similar posters are up at Forest Glen and Highland Hills, indicating where to board buses otherwise.

Updated since this morning. (Raw data is here in case anyone cares.)


RE: Grand River Transit - Acitta - 06-08-2019

The Transit App now has updated schedules.


RE: Grand River Transit - KevinL - 06-08-2019

Another big plus with the coming change: earlier Sunday service! Right now the earliest 201 from Forest Glen is at 8:15 AM; its equivalent on the new schedule is at 7:10!


RE: Grand River Transit - timc - 06-09-2019

I don't think all of the new schedules are in the Transit App yet, because I gave it a try and it came up with a horrible commute. The Easy Go trip planner has better data for now.


RE: Grand River Transit - bgb_ca - 06-11-2019

Noticed a bus this morning had a notice on the route changes on the front lcd board this morning.


RE: Grand River Transit - clasher - 06-12-2019

Are the GO buses going to keep using the Charles Street terminal for now?

AFAIK all intercity buses will continue to serve Charles Terminal until the new multi-modal transit station is built.

Quote:GO Transit, Greyhound and Coach Canada buses will continue to use Charles Street Terminal.

Correct. Intercity bus rides will depart from Charles Street (and the other stops) until the new transit station at Victoria opens up.
