I live on this route, have a small autistic child and disabilities myself. This change is inconvenient and disrespectful. People from Ottawa made this decision I was told by someone from DRT. Stop it please

I live on Simcoe street south between bloor and wentworth sts. There is a bus stop right outside my building which is very convenient. Moving this route to Ritson would make me have to walk an extra 10 mins to get to it. Why call a bus route 401 Simcoe if it's not going to stay on Simcoe?

 The DRT needs to add another bus route on Ritson if busses are needed there. They shouldnt be taking away the Simcoe bus stops, which have been running like that for over 40 years, to accommodate others, while inconveniencing the people who have always used it and needed it.  It has no logic.

Every single bus stop near me is now gone. Although i am close to ritson I cannot get there to go to work or school and it will not take me where i need to be from what I understand. The bus stop will no longer help myself or my family get any where. This is devastatingly upsetting. I can't believe my biggest means of transportation will be gone.

 My same complaint.  I can walk to the bus stop in 30 secs.  Now I will have a 10 or 15 minute walk.  Which will be worse winter months.  Thank you for commenting.  It helps with the arguement. We will be able to.voice the ddifferent types of problems the people will be dealing with because of this change. Thank you

I take the bus on a daily basis. I often use these stop and walking that distance is not an option as I already have to walk far from those stops.

It's wrong that there changing the rout after all theses years. people depend on the 401 Simco and changing it now is going to effect so many people. They need to keep it the same as it always has been.

Simcoe bus needs to remain the way it is. Wanting to revitalize the lake front with no way of getting to it now. Good move Durham Transit
