In
this installment of Who’s Not Been Serving Us Lately? I look at who has been serving you. Previously, in this
post
and this
one,
ThisCrazyTrain dredged up some dirt and exposed the debacle that is Burlington
station today. One of the mainstream media
followed suit with their
article. You're welcome
Toronto Star.
Back
in this
post,
I asked why Metrolinx hadn’t been pressured to operate hourly bus service
between Burlington and Niagara Falls during the week, as is done on
weekends. Well, it appears Metrolinx
picked up on that recommendation, because commencing with the next Board Period
– August 30 – GO Transit will be operating almost-hourly buses on Route 12. Here's the schedule.
This
should "GO" a long way to alleviate those bus overflow situations, and the missed e-mail notifications that accompany them.
You’re
welcome Metrolinx and residents of Niagara region, but there really is no need
to thank us. You see, with CJ as our
mentor, we at ThisCrazyTrain pride ourselves with making your commuting
experience better. It’s our mission to
serve you, and we do it pro bono. That’s
right, we work for free. You won’t find
our names anywhere on a SunshineList. I’d like to thank CJ for allowing me to
contribute – in a small way – to "The Cause".
Stay
tuned for upcoming articles, including a long overdue exposé of St. Catharines,
and who’s not been serving us there. And
remember folks, stay classy, and keep your feet on the floor
It's taken this long for them to make M-F hourly-ish!
ReplyDeleteThe email that they spammed out stated "we listened" & "help better serve those that start at 9am"
God forbid you have to work in Niagara or St Catharines, first bus during the week might get you there at 9am and as for weekend service, make that 10am.
GO/Metrolinx still believe everyone works on Toronto, even those is Niagara!
Going back to "We listened",
If they had listened and actually took the time to visit Niagara. They would quickly see that the last bus out of Niagara is at a very early time of... 21.35. Wow.
Don't plan an evening out in Niagara!
