LONDON, ONT. London Transit is planning to shorten the wait time on some of its routes in an effort to woo riders back to its buses. A new report going to the London Transit Commission details the routes that will see 60-minute frequency during low-demand periods reduced to 25 to 40 minutes. Its a crucial service improvement that aims to attract riders back to London Transit after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides. “We need to make sure that what people are considering coming back to is as attractive as possible,” explains General Manager Kelly Paleczny. The pandemic has slashed the number of passengers on city buses in half.
