Oh oh! That’s not good! That was “residential area” service, supposed to augment the core routes, by way of contract with a local taxi company to deliver customers from the suburbs to the nearest bus stop. I can’t imagine that the taxi company is too happy to have lost the contract, nor the customers who live too far from a bus stop either. The core local routes are one clockwise circling the city, another counter clockwise, and a third up and down Main Street. I hardly see any local buses in Airdrie, and when I do see them, they don’t appear to be full.
The ICE buses, on the other hand, are very full! I wish the ICE service ran all day, instead of just during early morning and late afternoon rush hours.
