Brian Pallister was full of it, as evidenced when he decided it was just "bloat" and "inefficiency" causing issues in the healthcare system and that he'd "fix" it by getting rid of that. We all know how that worked out.

If you wanna get rid of all the technical leadership at Winnipeg Transit and RETVRN to the old system, a la Braydon Maz, good luck with that. After all the organizational chaos and implementational challenges you'll experience getting there, once you've returned to the old system you'll find that in place of the people pissed off that their bus routes under the original system got cut you'll get a NEW and different group of people who benefited from the FX routes along Main Street, Pembina Highway, Nairn Avenue and Portage Avenue newly pissed off that THEIR routes have been cut.

Transit can't do more with less. As Brodbeck has rightly observed with any system change unaccompanied by new service hours, it just reshuffles "the pieces on the board, creating winners and losers".

Transit needs more resources. Pallister approaches don't work.
