criticized buses for being repeatedly late . since 2005 peterborough transit has been slowly implementing changes to improve bus schedules . in 2006 buses began running every 40 minutes rather than every 30 minutes since buses would often run every 35 45 minutes anyway . this way buses could at least meet their schedules . peterborough transit is also frequently criticized for not having buses run late enough . during weekdays the last bus departs from the terminal at 10 40 even though many riders need buses until around 1 00 am . it was also criticized for not offering sunday service a problem that was fixed in 2006 . the mayor daryl bennett owner of capitol taxi proposed changes that would result in the cancellation of saturday service after 6 00 pm . 3 however on january 31 2011 . peterborough city council voted against these transit cuts because of the overwhelming number of complaints from residents and because of the perceived conflict of interest for the mayor . the buses being required to back out of the bays at the existing terminal eat up roughly 10 minutes before all buses can start their trips . this can cause buses to end up running behind schedule later on in the day as the arrival depart time at the terminal generally falls farther and farther behind the more trips that are made . attempts to implement a community bus route by merging the trent east bank and the nicholls park route failed mainly due to overcrowding issues on the route renamed to trent armour . as a result the east bank and nicholls park route returned and the trent reid and trent armour were cancelled . see also edit coach canada greyhound canada references edit transit history of peterborough ontario http www.peterborough.ca living city services transportation transit
