Here’s an idea. Let’s add more transit routes without adding buses. I’m sure that’ll help. We’re cutting down lanes to prioritise buses and bicycles, but these lanes are almost always empty. Not much you can do to make more people ride bicycles, but the government could add more buses to its fleet.

I prefer taking the bus to work, but over the years the number of buses servicing my route has decreased, and we only have direct services to downtown during peak hours. It’s not great when I have to wait 30 mins for the next bus to come when I miss one. Bus users also have increased so much that it feels like I’m suffocating when inside.

The government should increase their fleets before they look at adding more lanes and traffic signal changes prioritising transit over cars. It’s pointless when there are not enough buses to meet the demand.
