3302 Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 1 hour ago, GMoldlook said: Route 2 has been around in one form or another since 1973...is there simply no one riding it? Seems strange to have no service at all on Stirling Ave. Are these changes coming in the Spring with the final Cambridge route changes? Routes 1, 3, 8, 12, 16, 201, 205 will cover the 2 when it disappears. As for the Cambridge expansion, it’ll start in September. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Route 23 and route 28 can interline as well at Stanley Park. Route 2's ridership never recovered from the pandemic, it's literally empty buses serving an area that doesn't need service.

So technically council did approve these changes. The committee has the power to approve/not approve, council just gives the seal. So the 2/73 are gone. Nothing can change that.

GMoldlook Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 So...was there actually no one using the Northlake service? Are they all rich big houses with cars that don't need transit? Any chance of something else filling the gap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The business of regional council is largely conducted through committees like planning and works. The council meeting just has a routine vote to accept the outcome of all the committee meetings since the last council meeting, as it's the exact same people around the horseshoe (the entirety of regional council sits on the planning and works committee). Sometimes there will be public uproar between the committee meeting and the council meeting, and councillors will change their mind. But unless that happens (which is extremely rare) it's approved.
