>>1037683I don't believe that the Transitway was that bad of an investment.
Although it's alignment is bad and it went overbudget and overscheduled it shaves quite a bit of time off commutes. By the time the Transitway completely opens, route 109 would of bypassed at least over a dozen sets of traffic lights.
As for usage, the routes are becoming more used. Just before the Transitway opened, 109 ran every ~20 mins during midday and peak, with service ending at ~8pm. Currently 109 runs ~10 mins during peak, ~15 mins during midday, and ~25 mins during evenings, with service ending at ~11pm. Also added was Saturday service at ~25 mins and Sunday service at ~20 mins (starts this week).
On top of that, MiWay has started running articulated buses on route 109 because a lot of trips were becoming packed with regular sized buses. (I wish my trip ran with one, its always packed and the bus driver has road rage and a lead foot).
As for 107, it runs ~15 mins during peak, ~20 mins during midday, and ~21 mins on Saturdays, with no service on Sundays.
Also Winston Churchill station opens today (January 2) which gets rids of 5 sets of traffic lights.
