liiiiffi busing a bust in york transport survey finds mike adler staff reporter transit use in york region has failed to keep up with the areas tremendous growth suggests a greater toronto area traffic sur vey residents took the bus only 5 per cent of the time last year compared to 7 per cent in 1986 according to the poll which covered more than 9000 local homes transit use by seniors is declining and car use is increasing due probably in large part to the fact that a higher proportion of seniors have drivers licenses than at any time in the past concluded a recent staff report to the regions transportation committee residents who made 1368000 trips a day in 1986 made over 2367600 a day last year 70 per cent of them as the driver of a car and 16 per cent as a passenger the transportation tomorrow survey said the poll also found more travel starting and ending within the region 6 1 per cent instead of 55 per cent of trips in 1986 and more traffic coming here from metro thats a good argument for providing northbound go train service to york region in the morning richmond hill mayor bill bell said last week currently two of the three go lines reach ing the region including one through markham and stouffville are single tracks all three send morning commuters to toron to and return them in the afternoon in a recent policy paper go which the survey said serves only 1 per cent of the regions transport needs predicted over 80 per cent of future gta employment and pop ulation growth will occur in the 905 regions largely in areas not served by the commuter rail network new industrial areas in the suburbs often have poor or no transit connections to go commuter trains to residential areas in metro or even to residential areas in their own municipalities noted a recent research paper for university of torontos centre for urban and community studies the provincial governments recent deci sion to make local governments responsible for the full funding of go and their own municipal bus systems implies that public transit is likely to decline the study argued not increase as a travel option for gta res idents wishing to travel to or even within the outer suburbs the same would be true for outer subur ban residents wishing to travel to noncentral parts of metro it said bell said the survey showed public transit in york region is a tough proposition i think it shows people are frustrated with public transit or the lack or the difficulty of it he added richmond hill markham and vaughan ought to form a single transit system for southern york region bell said one reason they havent yet is turf he suggested nobody wants to give up their own little transit system information from the survey is used to iden tify roads that most require improvements
