systems what suggestions do you have to make the transit system better v getting the buses to run on time and to the sched ule gn sundays they only run once an hour and thats far too long to be wdtirig ive used the transit system for many years and there had always been the special bus for students that came fiveor ten minutes early to avoid the huge crowd on the bus it worked out really well for kids that had to be at work by 330 pm because ft didnt stop at other bus stations to pick up more passengers but this year it comes really late or not at all ft was a really good service we want it to be regular or at least notify us if ifs not coming so were not waiting for it and freezing in the winter john morgan and adam cowling fuse the markham transit occasionally but its mostly
