Challenges
Long Routes and Travel Times
Travel time across the city by transit is not competitive with auto travel, and growing congestion is impacting schedule reliability on some routes.
New Growth Areas
New developments planned at densities that can support transit, but existing routes cannot be extended to serve them without substantially impacting service frequency, travel time, and reliability.
Centralized Terminal
- Minimizes the need for transfers, but results in long travel times for many transit trips
- Buses often run behind schedule on weekday afternoons causing system delays or missed transfers
- Accessing major destinations outside the downtown core by transit requires a transfer for most travelers
Existing Transit Terminal Capacity
- There is no space for additional routes at the downtown terminal
- Passenger waiting platforms are at capacity during peak periods
- Buses backing out of bays cause delays
Ridership Trends
- A majority of riders are post-secondary students, but the system must also meet the needs of all residents
- Investment in the services is needed to meet future transit ridership targets
