Thank you so much everyone who has taken the time to sign and support saving GRT route #2. Thank you for leaving such thoughtful comments about how this will affect you! 

Around this time yesterday GRT 'announced' under their Plans and Project page the schedule changes, including the cancellation of route #2. You can see that here. Buried in this announcement is a call for feedback, it's a custom form for feedback regarding the 2 or the 73 (the other route slated for cancellation). Here's a direct link to the feedback form.

I stewed on this overnight. I thought it's pretty nervy to ask for feedback now when they denied it as per a regional councillor's comment on the Kitchener reddit thread, you can read that here. That they opted for no community engagement, as per their own report. And when we received no reply from any GRT representative at any level of the organization when we originally reached out about cancelling the 2 in February when we first learned about the plan. 

So I filled in the feedback form and directed them to the petition, I may have also said I've done their job for them (I put my sassypants on this morning). If any supporters are so inclined, please do fill in the GRT feedback form and direct them to the petition as we've done that work here!

Also for Twitter users, here's the GRT tweet to engage on.

Thank you all, your efforts are appreciated.
