Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like? Copypasta joke aside, has anyone really seen an ad on a bus and used the service? It's extremely rare I see an ad and impulsively buy or use whatever the ad was for.

Personally it's a requirement for me when I need personal injury lawyers

If someone gets hit by a bus, the bus itself tells them who to call!

We were promised that there would be no wraps on ION trains. I recommend that whoever suggested this take it back.

My theory: staff are putting ION ads as an
Option so the compromise can be increased bus ads.

GRT posted on their Instagram with news about ridership/boardings in the last month. In September there was 3.8 million boardings and 2.9 million trips both are records. These values surpass the previous records by roughly 0.8 million and 0.7 million respectively (based on the data that GRT has posted on their website).
They also state that there planning on adding 50000 new hours of service in 2024 and more information will be shared in the coming weeks.

Okay, math is not my strong suit, but follow along with me and let me know if my calculations are right: 50,000 hours / 365 days = 137 additional hours per day (averaged, not accounting for differences between weekdays and weekends) 137 daily hours / 18 operational hours (ie: 6am to midnight) = 7.6 new buses on the road per day Does that track? Obviously these hours could appear in a number of ways, like increased frequency around rush hour, more buses during the weekdays vs weekends, but I know the 2041 long-term GRT plan intends for route frequency per hour to slowly increase between 2021 and 2041, regardless of time of day. For example, a low-frequency route that currently sees 2 buses per hour (once every 30 minutes) is supposed to step up to 2.4 buses an hour (once every 25 min) by 2026, 3 buses per hour (every 20 minutes) by 2031, 4 buses per hour (every 15 min) by 2036 and then finally 5 buses per hour, once every 12 minutes, by 2041.

I just tried to use a GRT day pass, and the system seems designed to be impossible to use. They are not sold online through the website; you need to buy them in person. A single EasyGO card can only hold a single day pass at a time, so you need to travel to a place they are sold each time you want to use one. They appear to be sold through the Ion vending machines, but the flow doesn't actually work, so you need to travel to either downtown Kitchener or Ainslie terminal. You can't have one loaded on your card and wait to use it until you actually are going to make a bunch of trips, it activates the first time you tap the card so you need to have a separate card just for the day pass.
The paper passes worked so much better. |
