Grand River Transit

[timc]

Perhaps better for the ion thread, but I'm curious - if there were no stop at Seagram, that'd be an awfully long stretch with no stations, between UoW and Waterloo Town Square, don't you think?

I'm no transit planner, and all of this is anecdotal information based on personal experience and observation, so it is possible that studies show otherwise.

There really aren't any destinations between UW and Uptown. Waterloo Park isn't a destination for most, especially in the winter months when transit usage is highest. Student residences along University and Seagram certainly generate transit rides, but most of it is to UW or Laurier. Most students don't travel outside of a small bubble around the universities.

I think the station would be a bit better if you could take a bus to get there. At least then it could be a transfer point for people going from Waterloo to Uptown or points further south.
