They are still using service hours that were not used in 2025 with funds in place for them.
The next questions that needs to be address what will happen to transit fares with the province wanting the same fare across the GTAH.?? Also who will cover the lost of revenue if X system must cut their current fare structure? Then, what will happen to senior fare that is free or lower than other systems?? If fares take a jump for X system, will riders pay that hike or will they walk away from transit and create a larger cost recovery??
Not surprise to see increase of headway for 135 as the numbers are not there to support the current headway. Extending it to Kipling deals with the extra travel time and transferring from route to another
As for route 5, not surprise to see the headway drop as it was a mistake when it went from 20 to 30 in 2025 with crush loads on those buses especially at peak time. Putting 40 foot buses on the route in place of arctic's was another issue especially at peak time.
Can not speak to the Sunday service for the 101 as I very rare use Dundas on the weekend nor anything west of Hurontario St.
In 2028, buses currently on route 2, 17 and 103 will be reassign to other routes once the LRT start service. I don't know what is plan for parallel service to deal with stops that have longer spacing between the LRT stations especially north of the 403. A few of the existing stops need to be remove now since they are under 250 meters and the 400 meters for the system.
The best thing is to do is to keep that parallel bus service 100% on Hurontario and riders can transfer to the LRT if they want to go to CCTT every 15-20 minutes. This will deal with the travel tine from Eglinton to the Cooksville station since there is no plan in place at this time to run bypass service and more so once the loop is built with the line being spilite in two like today.
