Top Tweets for #TransitCommissionNov20
Addendum as I wait at the bus-stop for a bus that’s apparently not coming: nays on the budget were @sarahmeaghang, @RiverWardRiley, and @cmckenney...just correcting my earlier tweet. Thanks for voting against this, you three, it has problems. 😕 #TransitCommissionNov20 /SB
And that’s all she wrote! I’m going home. Thank you for joining us on this EPIC #TransitCommissionNov20! /SB
.@cmckenney is asking about the senior’s monthly pass; it’s much more deeply discounted than an #EquiPass. Councillor McKenney would like staff to review the cost of offering two days free transit for EquiPass users. #TransitCommissionNov20 /SB
@JennaSudds @RiverWardRiley @AllanHubley_23 @mirgray @trevorhache @HealthTransport @cmckenney @KGE_hockeyfan @ps_oc @TimTierney @JohnRedins @ProgressiveDom @tm_kavanagh @CAWI_IVTF @Alex_S_Cullen @fca_fac @sallycthomas1 Hubley objects to photo Trevor used of "wealthy senior"...he speaks up on that issue but not the incredible inequity Trevor was actually talking about, which is sad. We have people picking between heating/food/transit and Hubley is mad about photo. :-/ #TransitCommissionNov20 /SB
@JennaSudds @RiverWardRiley @AllanHubley_23 @mirgray @trevorhache @HealthTransport @cmckenney @KGE_hockeyfan @ps_oc @TimTierney @JohnRedins @ProgressiveDom @tm_kavanagh @CAWI_IVTF @Alex_S_Cullen @fca_fac @sallycthomas1 He'd like to see the entire fare structure reviewed, the cut off for EquityPass raised (Toronto's is 15% higher than ours), the rationale for the "no charge" transit for seniors, etc. #TransitCommissionNov20 #OttLRT #OttTransit #OttBus /SB
@JennaSudds @RiverWardRiley @AllanHubley_23 @mirgray @trevorhache @HealthTransport @cmckenney @KGE_hockeyfan @ps_oc @TimTierney @JohnRedins @ProgressiveDom @tm_kavanagh @CAWI_IVTF @Alex_S_Cullen @fca_fac @sallycthomas1 She also asks why there are there aren't two free days per week for #ParaTranspo seniors (that's really awful, #OCTranspo!). Talk about #ParaParity! #TransitCommissionNov20 #OttLRT #OttTransit #OttBus /SB
@JennaSudds @RiverWardRiley @AllanHubley_23 @mirgray @trevorhache @HealthTransport @cmckenney @KGE_hockeyfan @ps_oc @TimTierney @JohnRedins @ProgressiveDom @tm_kavanagh @CAWI_IVTF She is asking for increase in transfer times for people using #EquiFare & single ride vouchers from 90min to 120min. She'd also like sliding scale for EquiPass.
@tm_kavanagh asks Christine if #OCTranspo has consulted w/ @CAWI_IVTF; she will check. #TransitCommissionNov20 /SB
@JennaSudds @RiverWardRiley @AllanHubley_23 @mirgray @trevorhache @HealthTransport @cmckenney @KGE_hockeyfan @ps_oc @TimTierney @JohnRedins @ProgressiveDom @tm_kavanagh #ChristineSantele of @CAWI_IVTF and @HealthTransport is now up and talking about her experiences with #PublicTransit as a woman and as someone with disabilities. She appreciates the freeze on AccessPass, CommunityPass, and EquiPass. #TransitCommissionNov20 #OttLRT #OttTransit /SB
@JennaSudds @RiverWardRiley @AllanHubley_23 @mirgray @trevorhache @HealthTransport @cmckenney @KGE_hockeyfan @ps_oc @TimTierney @JohnRedins @ProgressiveDom Dominique says public transit needs to be good for everyone but for some people it can "make or break you." She's shared a list with #OCTranspo with a list of suggestions. Well spoken and well done!! #TransitCommissionNov20 #OttLRT #OttTransit #OttBus /SB
@sarahmeaghang I have a stash of granola bars if anyone needs one...😬 #TransitCommissionNov20 #OttLRT #OCTranspo #OttCity #OttBus /SB
@JennaSudds @RiverWardRiley @AllanHubley_23 @mirgray @trevorhache @HealthTransport @cmckenney @KGE_hockeyfan Councillor McKenney concerned (rightly!) that we continue to buy diesel buses instead of electric. Diesel buses have 15-year lifespans so we will be stuck with those for that time, presumably?
Electric buses are expected in summer 2020. #TransitCommissionNov20 /SB
@JennaSudds @RiverWardRiley @AllanHubley_23 @mirgray @trevorhache @HealthTransport Now discussing "pop-up" bus lanes #TacticalBusLanes as a cheap option...very interesting slides! Would you be able to share, @trevorhache, pls? Phone is charging so couldn't get pic!
Also mentioned Toronto King Street pilot; very positive/successful! #TransitCommissionNov20 /SB
@JennaSudds @RiverWardRiley @AllanHubley_23 .@mirgray is up as a delegate. Agrees with @RiverWardRiley that transit needs to be better represented in Term of Council. She'd like to add "tracking reliability" (yes!!) and #OCTranspo to focus more on data (origin/destination, etc). Well said! /SB

.@sarahmeaghang Why are we using 40footers as the supplement R1 routes? Why did we buy 40footers? Manconi isn’t really answering... #TransitCommissionNov20 /SB
We’ve incurred $20 million in overtime costs with all the #OttLRT mess...to put that in context, the #ParaParity #ParaTranspo online is 1.5 million. A pittance. Sigh. #TransitCommissionNov20 /SB
Councillor Meehan wants to know why we went ahead with route changes in Sept 2018 when we knew the #OttLRT wasn’t ready and launched for a whole year. Excellent questions, Councillor! Manconi not really answering; blaming RTG. #TransitCommissionNov20 /SB
@MoggyBee @HealthTransport @mirgray @TimTierney @sarahmeaghang @rawlsonking @ps_oc @TonyCarricato @AltaVistaWard18 @RiverWardRiley @glengower @cmckenney @Laura_Dudas @tm_kavanagh Councillor Kavanagh asks whether there will be an "educational component" to train #ParaTranspo users on how to work with the eventual app. #Manconi says yes, there will be forums/workshops and over the phone. #ParaParity #TransitCommissionNov20 /SB
@MoggyBee @HealthTransport @mirgray @TimTierney We're still on item 1, folks...unless we pick up speed on the other items, this is going to be a long day. Did you say you have cookies, @sarahmeaghang? ;-) #TransitCommissionNov20 #OttTransit #ParaParity /SB
@jchianello @ps_oc @JohnRedins @MathieuFleury @ShawnMenard1 .@ShawnMenard1 asking for dates and accountability on the implementation of the ParaTranspo online booking! Thank you, Councillor! #TransitCommissionNov20 #OttTransit #ParaParity /SB
