Cornwall Transit ridership increased in 2011
27 in order to better serve residents. Some of the changes include: Expansion of the Brookdale and Cumber- land routes to service the new Brookdale Square Plaza on Tollgate Road. Adjustments to the Riverdale route, in- cluding direct access to the commercial area at Pitt and Ninth Streets. The merging of the two community bus routes into one community service. Extension of the Industrial routes by one hour.
According to Tapp, there are a number of factors that have contributed to the increase in ridership over the last several years, includ- ing the return to a 30-minute service in 2008, the purchase of new low-floor buses and nu- merous other enhancements to the system. “The return to a 30-minute service was the biggest factor,” Tapp said. “It has made our conventional bus service more efficient and convenient for residents.” Cornwall Transit will be making a series of adjustments to its routes and services on Feb.
750,394 of the paid rides in 2011. “These figures are quite encouraging,” said Councillor André Rivette, a member of the city’s transit committee. “More andmore peo- ple are discovering the fact that Cornwall Transit is an affordable, convenient and acces- sible mode of transportation.” Transit DivisionManager Len Tapp said the ridership increase in 2011 can be attributed in part to new residents trying out the service. “Our bus drivers are seeing an influx of new faces on the buses,” Tapp said.
