While it seems the main problem (Solstice students and North of there on Gordon) has been addressed with the mainline route, the changes to the #5 and #56 routes are logically unsound. The issues with missed loads of students on Gordon as described by the author are a result of the 5 and 56 route being filled with their intended passengers, those living in the southeast side of Guelph, and by the time those buses make the right turn onto Gordon to meet the aforementioned passengers, they are full or nearly full. This is indicative of the 5 and 56 routes working well, and an inadequacy to pick up passengers from Solstice and Gordon.<br /><br />Other comment authors have identified the serious disadvantage passengers living near Colonial and the section of Victoria road south of Arkell the proposed changes will bring. What also must be considered is the vast swath of houses being built on the South side of Clair road in between Gordon and Victoria. This neighborhood will be filled by the time the proposed changes come about, and yet the plan has neglected to even see their consideration. <br /><br />Lastly, I understand the immense pressure and hellfire Guelph Transit is under, and when coupled by a underwhelming budget, the issue compounds itself over again. That being said, it doesn't take a team of investigators and planners to see what the real problems facing our transit system is, as is revealed by the good discussion taking place here. If anyone from Guelph Transit is reading this, please consider the points we make. There are both drivers and longstanding passengers indicating that the changes to 5 and 56 are unwarranted, and current issues will be mediated by the addition of the mainline route alone.<br /><br />I would really like to hear more opinions!F.Vnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1476825681109011814.post-33960662271992010862017-03-16T19:28:08.569-04:002017-03-16T19:28:08.569-04:00Do you have more details on transit between Guelph...Do you have more details on transit between Guelph and Kitchener?

The 1A is always full, and the closest bus stop to that is about a 12min walk from our house. Maybe these changes will help with that? <br /><br />In order to get a bus to the university we have to catch the 8 to go downtown, then transfer from there to get to the University. This usually takes about 30-35 min everyday and can be a long bus ride. Often times it comes way earlier than our class times and we are usually at school a lot earlier than we need to be. This is annoying for 830am classes because we are already short on sleep and then we have to get up extra early to catch the bus to only arrive to school 20 min before our lecture even starts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1476825681109011814.post-54372311138945830152017-03-16T07:50:45.738-04:002017-03-16T07:50:45.738-04:00The 99 is not going to stop the 56 from filling up...The 99 is not going to stop the 56 from filling up at the end of Gordon, Farley before it reaches colonial.
