There are some improvements with the new plan. For instance, Bronson is getting frequent service. For some reason it has not had that, despite being one of the few key N-S transportation corridors in the city. A few routes are straightening as well.
Personally I would go all in on consolidation on main routes, sell the services as frequent and more reliable, and try to build on that.

Wasn't Route 10 on Bronson frequent? You know we are also creating new hourly routes inside the Greenbelt and some horribly indirect routes, for example the one from Navan Road and Blackburn Hamlet, many places too far to walk from frequent service on Innes and as we all want, with more density than 1950s to 1970s suburbs
We cannot expect people to walk 1 or 2 kms when the old main rural roads have never been upgraded to include sidewalks as hundreds of homes have been built around them.
