Category: On the Buses

I am a current member of the Guelph community and I attend the University of Guelph. Recently I have been notified that there is a proposal to terminate the U of G Universal Bus Pass. I strongly maintain that council should not support CMS11 “Reset Student Transit Fare Categories.” I can not afford the price […]

I would own a car if you changed the current system regarding bus passes. I currently do not. I live 100km away from Guelph and have a relative drive me home and back on the weekends. If the price of the bus pass raises you will have at least one more car on the road. […]

I apologize for jamming up your inboxes. There are a lot of students who concerned about the status of the Universal Bus Pass and currently there are limited options to have their voice heard. Unfortunately, students are in the exam period right now and are fully committed to their academic endeavors. Students are at home […]

For clarification purposes please find below a brief summary of the concepts that were presented by Transit staff on November 30. Further material will be provided at the December 8 meeting. Potential Changes to Fares for 2010

If the price adjustment were to move the university bus pass rate to the same that high school students pay currently, that is charging $62 per month versus the $62 per semester that we pay now, that would essentially be eliminating the universal bus pass program since there would no longer be a difference at […]

As a first year student at the University of Guelph, I was pleased to experience the endless efforts providing Green alternatives the student body. Personally, the best […]

The following email was sent to Councillors from a number (350+!) of students (all the same text). It has come to my attention that one of the budget reductions that is in front of council is to cancel the U of G Universal Bus Pass. I urge council not to support CMS11 “Reset Student Transit […]

As a University of Guelph student I strongly support the cancellation of the universal bus pass. $61 per semester (which adds up to over $500 over my years at university) is a lot to pay for a service I don’t use. I have previously expressed these concerns to my student council, but they just ignore […]

As you are aware, the project management of the ongoing Transit Study involves a Public Advisory Committee of six residents (one per ward) and 10 stakeholders. We have been trying to recruit six residents through the City’s selection process, but we have had no response to the advertisments placed in the Tribune in July, August […]
