Charlottetown, Cornwall and Stratford have been developing an expanded public transport system, working with Left Turn Right Turn and surveying 800 residents.

“Only 23 per cent of folks that we heard from reported that the current transit service in the 2023 transit network worked good or better for them.”“Only 23 per cent of folks that we heard from reported that the current transit service in the 2023 transit network worked good or better for them.”Under the new plan, there would be less overlap of routes, more connections to the airport and hospital and on-demand service in parts of Cornwall and Stratford.

First, Charlottetown can look to improve its downtown terminal by creating a bus lane in front of the Confederation Centre. Another change would be to have the municipalities collect fare revenues directly, instead of it going through the operator, as it does currently. This is called a fee-for-service model, Keenan said.

Keenan said it would mean removing about 20 total spaces in the long term, but only some would go right away. Earlier in the presentation, she noted more than 1,000 people on 26 buses use the stop before 9 a.m. on weekdays.
