Transit

waiting for the bus looking west on Governors Road from bus stop at Creighton Road
Governor's Road gets bus service during weekday rush hour, then a bus once an hour at other times during the day, and no service after 10pm or so during the week. There is no bus service on Governors on weekends.

A further complication is the poor internal bus routing in Dundas - high school students wishing to take a city bus to school have no real direct service between the schools and where many of them live (ex. Downtown, York Road, Pleasant View).

If we want people to become less dependent on their cars we need to provide alternatives. Improved bus service, bicycle lanes and pleasant, safe walking routes combined with traffic calming can deliver. We just need to put things in place.
