Title: Riverside Trolley Survey
Post by: fsujax on June 08, 2009, 02:58:04 PM
It seems JTA wants to make some service improvements on the Riverside Trolley. Fill out this survey, let them know what you want. It was found on the front page of the JTA website.

Not a bad survey.  I was able to express all of my thoughts and concerns.

My info added.  I still think that they should extend the route a little more (to King St for example).  However that would require at least one more vehicle to meet the current headways.

If it was, then it could really be a viable commute option from Riverside.

For the commuter I think you would have to expand the hours... maybe 8am 6pm - right now it's pretty much just a ride to lunch for most.

My suggestions were all regarding hours of operation.  I'd like to see 6-11 Mon-Thurs and 10-2am Fri & Sat

I suggested Friday and Saturday evenings so that commuting to concerts and events in town would be possible.

The most obvious change to the Riverside Trolley is this: connect 5 Points and Bay Street on Friday & Satuarday night.

5 points and Bay Street (including the Landing perhaps) have a lot of great nightlife. Connecting these with a 8pm-2am (or 12 Midnight) trolley seems like a no brainer. TONS of people would use this.
