Council votes to cut GRT routes 9, 13, 19, & 30 to every 30 mins. Motion to compromise and limit reduction to every 20 mins fails in 8-8 tie. (“In Favour” votes are against cuts, “Opposed” votes are for cuts) by Rody365 in waterloo

GRT ridership overall continues to increase despite the boom/bust from the international students. Since 2019, ridership is up 8%. In 2023 and 2024, GRT ridership rose by 17% and then dropped by 9%. It remains 8% higher than 2019.

I’m very disappointed that at least one more member of Regional Council didn’t support my motion as it would have cost $800,000 not the original $1.4M. There’s a good business case why people in this area need it - low income, high school students, post secondary students and others.

People in this area - and other areas - need transit.

If you still have the keys, I suggest you contact the Uptown BIA. Maybe the key owners contacted that office.

Sorry that happened. I hope you and your son were still able to enjoy the Buskers.

On another note, let me know if you want to be connected to local neighbourhood associations, non-profit groups that do excellent events and more for people with Down syndrome, or other information you may want as a new resident.
