It's about a week too late for Halloween, but the city has nonetheless been running "ghost buses" along Upper Wyndham Street in an attempt to see whether it is feasible to change routes to better serve merchants on that stretch of road.
You'll recall Marty Williams of the Downtown Guelph Business Association and several merchants address council recently pleading for a solution to the bus-lessness of Wyndham north of the Square.
Transit officials will report the results of the ghost runs to the operations and transit committee later this month.
There use to be a bus stop where the new parking lot is. Put one there.

Upper Wyndham is screwed no matter what they do. They don't seem to realize that by moving the station they affected the traffic flow of commuters, and now everyone walks along Woolwich instead of Wyndham. We used to get probably half of our business from people walking by morning and afternoon, and this has now dried up to a trickle. We really should get better consultants.

You mean the transit hub is a fail? Thats a surprise.

It is the new routes,30 min. system and no buses at the square that are the real problems.
Just restore our former service and eliminate all the new problems at once and then address the south end with 2 new routes using our next installment of money from gas and property taxes for covering those costs.

The ministry of transportation says it is city council who dictate the system we use,
G.Kovach is against this system,the other 11 councilors are the ones leaving us stranded.
Everyone should email every council member and tell them to restore our transit before we suffer through a full winter with this mess
and tell them they will lose your vote if they don't start acting more responsibly.

This council never had my vote
This gang of eight,plus the mayor should resign
The bus route issue has become an issue because her supporters
downtown who had the mayor wrapped around their fingers in the past
are now not happy
The one per centers downtown still think that Guelph begins and ends
when you cross the river.

Upper wyndham is threaded no matter what they do. They don't seem to know through the mobile station they influence the traffic flow of commuters, and now everyone along the woolwich instead of wind ham. We are used to may be half of the business from people walk in the morning and in the afternoon, it now has dried up, the mere trickle. We really should get better adviser.
