Some Transit Windsor riders are not happy with the city bus service.
On Monday, more than a dozen people attended the first of three "pop-up" meetings dealing with a yearlong service review.
The meeting heard about a number of issues including the proposed re-location of the College Ave. bus terminal, routes and schedules along with the attitude of drivers and the etiquette of passengers.
Alan Robshaw attended the meeting and says the service needs to be better.
"If the schedule was set in 1979 and nothings been changed and it's 2018, I think the merchants out there should be turned around and really holding the city at bay and saying we're not investing anything because we can't get people to work," says Robshaw.
He can't believe transit does not operate five routes on Sunday's.
"The 7 {bus}, the 10, the 14, the 3. The 3 West runs but the 3 doesn't run, the 25," says Robshaw. "There's five bus routes that we can't get to work or we can't turn around and go shopping at the grocery store or anything else."

Transit recently launched a yearlong service review called "More Than Transit" which will look at what is happening today, identify gaps and challenges and ways to address any shortcoming.
Robshaw wants the new city council to invest in transit.
"Transit is an asset not a debt," he says. "One of the problems that I saw with some of the old council members were they didn't see that transit was an asset, to get people to work at a reasonable cost so they could turn around and live better."
The second pop-up meeting takes place at Wednesday from 7am until 10am and 3pm until 6pm at the Windsor International Transit Terminal.
The third meeting happens on Saturday from 11am until 2pm at Tecumseh Mall.
