Edm. City Council Strikes Again

Greatly reduces no. of bus routes.
Builds a massive LRT which no one will ride because there is no free parking near terminals, because connecting routes have been cancelled, and because people can’t get to terminals or main routes, and because of dumb fare increases for regular rides and passes. The system has done everything possible to negate ridership.
As well, all the closed bus shelters and signage will have to come down significantly increasing transit debt more than new incoming fares under revised system.
What insight and foresight went into the latest changes to Edmonton Transit?
