Transit changes expected to help with city’s busiest bus route
Changes to the city’s transit system are on the way and for the busiest route in Barrie it should bring much-needed relief for riders.
Starting on Sunday, Aug. 25, the city’s express route will be getting a boost of four buses, up from the current one. Wait times will drop to 22 minutes instead of the regular 30.
Brent Forsyth, the City of Barrie’s transit director, tells BarrieToday that about a year ago there was a spike in ridership, particularly the northeast part of the city, and the changes being made should help accommodate those extra people.
