A pilot project of having basic transit service on some statutory holidays sounds like an improvement to our transit system. But wouldn’t it be better to improve the every day transit service first?
For a person wishing to get to work in St. Albert by 9 a.m. on a weekend it is absolutely a nightmare, much like trying to take a bus any other time or trying to get home from work when the shift ends at 10 p.m. Dial-a-bus? What a joke.
St. Albert Transit is a sad state of affairs for young people who do not drive because they cannot afford a car and the insurance that goes along with owning one. Call transit information and the reply you get is the city won’t change the current way the buses run until ridership improves. How do they expect ridership to improve when the system, as it is, is anything but user friendly?
