Taking Transit in Richmond Hill — What’s It Like Right Now?
Quote from Editor on April 20, 2026, 10:26 pmIf you’ve taken transit recently, how was it?
- Reliable?
- Too slow?
- Hard to connect between routes?
And how does it compare to driving?
For a lot of people, traffic is part of the daily routine—sometimes manageable, sometimes frustrating. For others, transit is an alternative, but not always an easy one.

That's right, but it sounds like a chicken and egg issue to me. As long as people are not using the service and not demanding for a better service, the officials won't offer that reliable service.
The other issue with transit is the development pattern. It's not practical and within a city's resources to offer frequent bus routes to sprawled Neighbourhoods.
