Grand River Transit

[Bytor]

As you said, it's always a choice of how to spend a given budget. Will more buses in the summer gain more ridership than adding frequency on, say, route 7? Or would it be better to add a completely new route?

That's not the choice though, because even the 7 has typically gotten reductions in the summer.

This summer was the first time ever that GRT did not reduce service on every single route over the summer, and did so by keeping ION LRT and 7 King at the Fall/Winter schedules.

So it's not a case of "more summer busses" versus "higher 7 frequency the rest of the year", only summer vs. summer.
