  • Making Transit Functional
    MAKING TRANSIT FUNCTIONAL A guide to a frequent, affordable, and accessible system in Winnipeg Prepared by FUNCTIONAL TRANSIT WINNIPEG March 16, 2015 [email protected] www.functionaltransit.com “Transit works best where there are many destinations along something that feels like a straight line.” – Jarrett Walker, Human Transit 1 PREFACE This report was compiled by Functional Transit Winnipeg Functional Transit Winnipeg is a grassroots group of Winnipeggers who volunteer their time to research and advocate for improved public transit. This group came together over the concern that the Southwest Corridor will make public transit worse for Winnipeggers. We advocate for improving bus frequency within Winnipeg Transit’s existing service. This report was compiled in order to explain the deficiencies of the current plan for the Southwest Corridor in Winnipeg, and to lay out an alternative strategy that would have a far more positive impact on public transit for the same price as the current project being undertaken by the City of Winnipeg. Our conclusions are drawn from publicly available data, reports from the City of Winnipeg and transit research. We have made every effort to be factually accurate in our assessment of transit service and investment in Winnipeg. The views expressed in this document are those of the author and contributors only. We welcome response and input from those individuals who may have a different interpretation or access to more information. We can be reached at [email protected]. Lead author: Joseph

  • Transit Agency Responses to COVID-19: a Review of Challenges and Opportunities for Continued Service Delivery
    Transit Agency Responses to COVID-19: A review of challenges and opportunities for continued service delivery By: Ellen McGowan April 2021 School of Urban and Regional Planning Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada Supervisor: Dr. Ajay Agarwal Copyright © Ellen McGowan 2021 Acknowledgements I would first like to acknowledge my supervisor, Dr. Ajay Agarwal, whose expertise was invaluable in formulating the research questions and methodology. Thank you for your support and generosity over the last two years. I would like to thank the Norman D. Wilson Fellowship for funding this research. I would also like to thank my parents and Mark for their endless encouragement. Finally, I could not have completed this report without the support of my friends at SURP. Although our time together was cut short, I’m grateful for all that first year brought us. 2 Executive Summary Background & Context The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has radically impacted public transport ridership and service provision across the country. Since the outbreak of the virus, transit agencies have had to adapt to new and rapidly evolving conditions. Many agencies modified services to reflect lower ridership levels and to ensure the safety of both riders and operators. These changes in service were guided by public health agencies, as well as major transit associations like the Canadian Urban Transit Association (CUTA) and International Association of Public Transport (UITP). Other agencies implemented precautionary measures like rear door boarding, temporary fare suspension, and reduced capacity limits to enable the safe continuity of operations. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, transit agencies are having to strike a balance between providing enough transportation options for essential travel and reducing service offerings to match the declining overall demand for mobility services.

  • A Case for Edmonton to Explore Bus Rapid Transit
    6. A Case for Edmonton to Explore Bus Rapid 2 Transit Edmonton Transit System Advisory Board Recommendation: That Administration provide a report on the feasibility, implications and details on the potential of adopting bus rapid transit in Edmonton as both an interim method of servicing routes earmarked for future LRT expansion (LRT Network Plan) as well as other high-traffic corridors that are suitable for high-speed, high-frequency transit services. Report Summary The Edmonton Transit System Advisory Board has explored the characteristics of bus rapid transit and the benefits of implementing bus rapid transit in cities similar to Edmonton. Based on this analysis the Board believes there is value in the City of Edmonton exploring bus rapid transit as an alternate mode of transit to complement LRT and regular bus service. Report Bus rapid transit is a high-speed, high frequency bus-based mode of transit that delivers fast, high-capacity, and cost-effective transit services in urban areas. Bus rapid transit differs from regular bus service based on several key characteristics: • The use of dedicated busways lanes (exclusive street-level lanes, often fully segregated from mixed traffic). • Off-board fare collection for less idle time at stations (simultaneous boarding at all doors). • Platform-level boarding for improved accessibility. • High frequency (focus is on ridership, not coverage; service is based on a pre- determined frequency rather than a schedule). • High capacity; bus rapid transit often uses articulated buses capable of transporting 80+ passengers. • High quality stations. Compared to a regular bus service, bus rapid transit is faster, has a higher ridership capacity, runs more frequently, and offers greater reliability and convenience.

  • BUS HISTORY ASSOCIATION 2019 CONVENTION Ottawa on and Gatineau QC – Wednesday, June 5Th to Saturday, June 8Th All Photos by Kevin Nicol, Unless Otherwise Indicated
    BUS HISTORY ASSOCIATION 2019 CONVENTION Ottawa ON and Gatineau QC – Wednesday, June 5th to Saturday, June 8th All photos by Kevin Nicol, unless otherwise indicated The Bus History Association (BHA) convention was held in Ottawa this year. It had been 16 years (2003) since the BHA held their convention there. As with the past 3 Canadian conventions (Montreal, Quebec City, Vancouver), Mario Seneviratne organized a fan trip on the day before the start of the convention. Société de transport de l’Outaouais (STO) is one of the few remaining transit systems in Canada that still operates high floor vehicles (not including cutaways). STO, along with Coast Mountain Bus Company (Orion V suburbans), Sarnia (1 Orion V) and Cold Lake (2 Classics as back up) are the only systems that still operate the venerable buses. Their days are clearly numbered though except possibly for Vancouver where they have a few years left. STO still operates MCI Classics that formerly operated in Calgary. Bus # 9136 was chosen for the charter which is ex-Calgary # 5106. The charter started at Terrasses de la Chaudière in Gatineau. BHA members had to take regular transit to get to the start location and most rode OC Transpo route 97 from the host hotel of Hilton Garden Inn and Suites – Ottawa Airport. Upon arriving at Mackenzie King bridge, we alighted route 97 and transferred to route 44 for the ride to Gatineau. People who arrived early were able to take many photos. OC Transpo services Terrasses and one of the new Nova LFS buses arrived during our time there.
