Reduced service?

C-Tran is going to have reduced service on 3 days that aren't even holidays: the days after Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day.

The people who are making these decisions must forget that retail workers ride C-Tran. Many retail employees are required to work early or late that day, and C-Tran is making it very difficult.

On top of that, C-Tran drivers have to use their own vacation time for those days off. C-Tran has decided that if you're a rider, it's a holiday, but if you're a driver, it's a normal workday. Makes no sense to me.

Interesting insight. That is quite wonky though... and definitely not an ideal situation.

Thanks for bringing it to my (and others) attention!

Christian, thanks for the comments and the link! Since this blog is brand new, I wasn't sure if anyone had even seen it yet.
