Bathurst?

[DanfromTO]

In the summer of 2008 the streetcar tracks on bathurst between bloor and st clair were replaced. During this time they changed the # 7 bus route. Instead of going north from bloor it went north from st.clair. now that the replacement is done it seems as if the ttc has simply forgotten about this bus route.

Currently bathurst transit works as such:
-South of Bloor is a streetcar as it traditionally has been
-There is a short bus route between Bathurst Stn(bloor St.) and St. Clair west stn
-Then you have to transfer to another bus at St.Clair west to go further north on bathurst.

So, if you want to go from bathurst and college to bathurst and eglinton, you have to get on a streetcar and two busses. And the buses go out of their way to pull off of bathurst and into stclair west stn....Ridiculous.

Is this just another case of the TTC being retarded or is there actually a reason for this?

If there is no reason, which I suspect because of the TTC's weak track record, then there should either just be 1 continuous bus north from bloor like before, or they should extend the bathurst streetcar north to stclair west because the tracks already go all the way up there.
