Target: Toronto Transit Commission
Petition text:
WE, the undersigned, petition the Toronto Transit Commission as follows:
1. To reject any and all route supervisor’s excuses of downtown traffic congestion being the cause of consistently neglecting the service from the Connaught Yard to the Neville Park Loop, and to get to the heart of the real problems on this route, ie: City traffic support.
2. To reject any proposal or policy that may result in Beach residents, employees of local businesses and institutions as well as visitors to the Beach getting less service than posted, and less service than the downtown core of the same route is provided.
3. To reject any proposed service cuts along the 501 Route east of Connaught, and to bring service from Kingston Road to the Neville Park Loop to a level where the service delivery is up to par with the requirements of the citizens and posted schedules.
4. To immediately correct the problems with their management on this line which causes it to operate with great gaps in service. IE: trip times scheduled to reflect busy times of day.
5. To immediately improve service performance and cease stranding passengers in the Beach, by excessive short-turning, and causing them to take up to 4 vehicles, and up to four times the “actual” trip time, to get into the downtown core or back into the Beach unless there is a bona fide, “documented” emergency that causes a bona fide delay.
6. To provide alternative services such as buses, or a car out of the yard, to pick up passengers in the Beach, when streetcars scheduled to go to Neville Park are re-routed/short-turned and service to the Beach is cut off, and passengers stranded.
