[edit] 'Other Canadian public transport operators'

What context does this section provide? It seems quite the scattered selection - from the country's largest (Toronto) to a now-defunct service (Iqaluit). It may be better to put together a template of these, for better flexibility and presentation... Radagast 13:43, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

I'm not exactly sure what the purpose is - lists such as this seem to show up under 'See also' on each transit operator's page; I renamed it to 'Other Canadian public transport operators' to make it clear that those pages don't actually say anything about Grand River Transit. Personally, I don't see much point in having the list at all: the category system already provides such links if they're needed, and it's not as if the other systems are particularly related or connected to GRT.

[edit] Streetcars

the former Kitchener Transit (which also served Waterloo, previously with both streetcars and trolleybuses)

Did Kitchener Transit ever actually run streetcars? My impression was that they were all under the authority of the Grand River Railway and the earlier companies it absorbed, and that there were no further such services after it ceased passenger services.

When did KT begin operations? I know the streetcars stopped running in about the '40s; I don't think KT goes back that far, but I may be mistaken. If it doesn't, then they were likely a GRR operation. Radagast 02:39, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fares

How about a fare table??

  • I'm pressed for time right now, so I can't do it at present
  • There are a number of models available from other Ontario Systems

  • Universal Bus Pass

What about a section describing the new Universal Bus Pass implemented at Wilfrid Laurier University? 216.16.232.30 18:33, 11 May 2006 (UTC)steph

[edit] Faulty Buses

A story in the Record seemed to be edited, but what's this about GRT buses failing inspections? Bacl-presby 16:36, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] UPass Link Dead

The link to the article at feds.ca/upass is no longer correct. 216.59.247.120 (talk) 01:16, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] R&T Park station

R&T Park (University of Waterloo Research & Technology Park, Hagey Road and Wes Graham Way) The University of Waterloo’s Research and Technology Park station is used mainly by students; the iXpress and GRT's Late Night Loop are the only routes to run on Hagey Boulevard

I use this station, and I can't say that I believe it to be mainly used by students. As I see it, the only students that would be using this stop would be those going to Optometry or to Columbia Icefields. On the other hand, there are several businesses in the R&T Park, such as Sybase, Open Text, those in the Accelerator Centre, and TechTown. If this station is used mainly by students, then I guess I don't see them on my trips. --  timc  talk   17:21, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
