Seems similar to the Ottawa busway, is that fair to say?
How do people usually get to the stations, are there connecting bus routes that drop people there? I ask because there doesn't seem to be much around the stations or transitway.
Until 2016/17, ridership will be low until the full completion is finish.
The quality of service will be poor until full completion and this will have an impact on ridership.
With the completion of the transitway, GO Transit will start running their service to York by this route that will generate ridership to the transitway.
I stated in 2004 in my opposition report to this GO Thing, it will do noting for MT. There is no real walk-in ridership at any of the stations. What I saw on that trip was I was expecting to see even for a start up.
There is more service coming to this Transitway in May and the fall, but not much more than what exist today.
This was my first ride in normal service, as its useless to me all the time unless I am at Sq One or need to get to it from Islington or another part of the city. If I did, I may have shot videos and photos on the snow day. Never made it to Metrolinx meeting that day because of the snow.
Only Cawthra has no connecting bus service. A couple of the next phase stations will not have bus service at this time and that may change by 2017.
