York Region Public Transit (YRT/Viva)

Apr 17, 2012 | Debbie in the Community | 0 comments

This past Wednesday York Region Transit hosted a public information centre to review changes to services in 2012 and to solicit input for the 2013 plan.

For 2013 I asked about services down Keele from the 15th Sideroad.  And I raised the need for a service between Nobleton, Schomberg, King City and the KC GO to meet trains.  The Mayor arrived soon after me and quickly started his own list which was dominated by the need for service amongst the villages.

After hearing about the comprehensive services provided by Mobility Plus I enquired about offering a fare subsidy for intellectually challenged; this had been raised as a request last year by at least one constituent last year and had not been addressed.  Rationale for such being that the latter merit support as much as the physically handicapped receive given that they are often only able to earn minimum wage and are unable drive.  Hence public transit is very important for getting to their place of work etc.  Full fare eats up alot of their income.
