What wou...Rev. McKenzie, thanks for you comments. <br /><br />What would make better sense to me would be to build some kind of hub, where a future bus route from the U of M (so-called bus rapid transit) could terminate downtown, would be somewhere on or between Portage and Graham Avenues. This would allow easy transfer to every major transit route in the city. This is why around The Bay has developed as the busiest transit hub in the city: because it is the clostest point between stops on Portage and stops on Graham. <br /><br />If the City and Transit were on the ball, they would have tried to work out a deal with Manitoba Hydro to make part of their new headquarters a transit terminal (which would be good for their 'power smart' marketing shtick). Another good location is in part of the parkade on Hargrave between Portage and Graham, or any of the many acres of vacant land east of Smith St.The Rise and Sprawlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05870657912534505662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10100067.post-70474959988700683552010-04-14T11:47:11.785-05:002010-04-14T11:47:11.785-05:00Great post.

As someone whose been riding transit for years and often finds that making transfers difficult, it's good to hear recommendations for a positive way to improve transfer service.<br /><br />Do you have any suggestions for where a hub might go?<br /><br />Donald McKenzieDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14038665790203408503noreply@blogger.com
