I haven't been a regular transit user for a long time, but I hope this transition goes smoothly. Large-scale changes rarely do...

Yeah, there's already been the expected reports that people who had one-bus routes now have three-bus routes, etc. for a lot of the arteries, things are still going to be pretty much okay, but all the feeders and stuff are going to get interesting.

What's also super interesting is that Graham is no longer a bus route. I wonder if they have plans to turn that into a pedestrian mall or something like that.

I think that's the general idea according to CentrePlan 2050, but I'm also a little unclear as to whether the entire stretch will be pedestrians/active transportation-only.
