The loss of some of those customers and trips is bad, but the worse public policy outcome is that OC Transpo's best/most captive customers end up having to endure the absolute shittiest service.
I would love our transit overseers to have to do their grocery shopping, as so many of those customers do, on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, trying to squeeze themselves and their purchases onto a 7 on Bank or the 19 on St-Laurent.
Bonus if, as usual, the 7 is being run on a 40-foot bus that is already full before it even gets to the grocery-store-dense parts of the route.
Meanwhile, for the comfort and convenience of suburban east-end 9-5 commuters, we are running something called the E1 at no small expense, to try and shut up the whining.
