Make local service more direct and easier to understand. Some of the routings are beyond nonsensical, Check out
16-Island Lakes or
44 Grey.
Focus on peak hour service in outer neighbourhoods and improve frequency of service by allowing for more transfers and longer walking distances in some areas. To a certain degree low density new developments have to be aware that transit will be provided, but with a certain degree of use-it-or-lose-it consideration.
Not sure if Edmonton will use the 10 minute definition for FS such as Toronto uses or the 15 minute definition that Vancouver uses. Sad to say, but almost all of the mainline routes in Winnipeg used to have frequent service at all times and on all days, even Sunday.
Portage-East Kildonan buses used to be every 9 minutes late evening and night, now it's every 14 or 15 minutes. Many routes have seen even greater service reductions.
