A rapid bus line or a train from the Pickering GO Station doesn't help if the neighbourhood bus routes don't connect with train schedules. We need tighter coordination between Durham Region Transit and GO Transit so commuters are not left waiting on platforms during peak hours.

A major priority is making sure the Kingston Road Bus Rapid Transit project genuinely works for our community. Dedicated rapid lanes are critical for dependable travel times, but getting to the stop safely matters just as much. That means investing in wide, buffered sidewalks and protected cycling paths so walking or rolling to transit is comfortable and safe.
