GGH Transportation and Growth Plan

* Increasing the frequency of local transit service to every 10 minutes, across all urban areas.
* Fully integrating transit fares and services to provide seamless connections across the region.
* Ensuring 24-hour public transportation access to better serve employees of the region’s largest employment nodes.

I mean, this is what you want if you want more people out of cars. Better visions for PT than I have seen in a long time.

24 hour transit and 10 minute lead time, you will have people willing to abandon their cars. As it stands, and as I mentioned before, we lost part of our route, but what is left, reduced Saturday service, no Sunday/holiday service, and slightly reduced weekday service. Even if I wanted to use transit, I couldn’t because the service doesn’t exist for my work hours.

We really need this. The fact some of our buses still only have 30 minute headway is ridiculous. Our bus service is awful. What takes 10-15 minutes in a car can take over an hour on the LRT+bus depending on how many transfers you have to take or how many side streets you have to go down.
