From the Organizers
In June, the City of Barrie promised an improved transit service with better frequency, reduced trip time, more coverage, and “improved travel freedom”.
Yet as riders, we have only seen:
⛔️ Poor communication
⛔️ Poor organization
⛔️ No Integration of Citizen Feedback
City Council needs to build a transit system that works for bus riders, not just their budgets.
On Wednesday, October 30th, we are gathering at Barrie City Hall to share our experiences and demand a transit system that drives a connected community.
The Riders United Will Never Be Defeated ✊
