I would like to hear the Union's response to the bulleted points mentioned in Top Shelf's post. The City seems to be arguing that using community shuttle buses helps provide transit service to areas that may not yet have the demand to warrant a full-sized bus. Plus, they will be wheel-chair accessible and more fuel efficient. Wages are being increased dramatically for those drivers even though they still lag behind that of regular bus operators and c-train operators.
If it's not about money, then what is it about? Tell us. Please. Maybe I'm still missing something here but if the Union won't clarify then I'm at a loss. I won't side with the City and I won't side with the Union. I will be equally pissed at both sides if a strike results and my morning commute, already an hour long ordeal in pee-/fecal-/etc-soaked seats as it is, becomes any more inconvenient.
