Grand River Transit

[MacBerry]

I thought that family passes were currently only available for Sundays, not weekends in general? Seems awkward given how we still have many things in the Region which are closed on Sundays, as well as seeing this as the first "showcase" of GRT, being the worst possible service standards.

Weekends and holidays. And, you're right, giving a family its first glimpse of GRT service on a Sunday or a holiday is not a great idea. But I do think the pass is good value.

There's a rather limited number of vendors selling day passes. I guess someone from out of town or new to the system will head to the terminal to get them, but not necessarily. I believe you can buy them in advance and scratch off the date, as taylortbb says and as it works on the TTC.

Maybe the new "Presto" electronic fare system will allow for special pass purchase at a kiosk for GRT use.   Perhaps I am too optimistic for an integrated fare system?     Did Region choose a system for e-fares yet?
