- 1. The case for rolling back Sept 2 2018 route changes Comments on Transit Commission 2018-09-19
- 2. Route 131 – a core Orléans local route Quick facts: Runs every 30 minutes from 4:45 to 00:42 Route takes nearly one hour from end to end Cuts a circle through the communities north of Innes Road Very significant route changes on September 2 Connects to eastern Transitway only at Place d’Orléans No service to either Jeanne d’Arc station The closest approach to western Jeanne d’Arc station is now 500 m (across Hwy 174)
- 3. Close-up of old and new 131 Red Removed New route runs to Blair via yellow section Green New Overlaps some other routes in east, new regular service in west Blue Unchanged
- 4. Overview of western Orléans service changes Better connections to downtown but worse connections inside Orléans 131 no longer services Jeanne d’Arc station (east or west) 38 connects to Blair at the price of isolation from rest of Orléans 32 is still a crazy route with infrequent service, typical less than once an hour for only core hours, so it has very low ridership Western Convent Glen North is still underserved, especially in off peak hours, most has express service only
- 5. Summary of problems Convent Glen – Orléans Woods folks no longer have one bus route to Innes Rd Innes Rd is the primary retail centre of Orléans It is also a major employment area New routes add more than 30 minutes to travel time (in good weather with good connections) Chapel Hill, Orléans Village, Chateauneuf folks no longer have direct access to eastern Transitway 94 is an option but it is quite slow as it goes through Blackburn Hamlet before joining Transitway at Blair Peak hour service runs via either Jeanne d’Arc or Orléans unlike 94 Chapel Hill, Orléans Village, Chateauneuf students must transfer to reach Cairine Wilson SS or St Matthews HS in Convent Glen Many students used route 131 Now they head east, transfer at Place d’Orléans, then travel back west
