Currently, the 4 km door-to-door journey takes about 20-25 minutes on the 1C bus. It operates every 10 minutes during peak times on weekdays:
Comparison: What if patients travel by bus from the proposed UCC on the Ouellette Campus location to the planned hospital on CR42?
Under the proposed model, the downtown UCC will provide only limited healthcare services. Patients with referrals for follow-up treatment at the single site acute care hospital will face a journey exceeding 15 km if they take public transit to get there.
- Passengers will need at least one bus transfer, for example:
- • Route 14 northbound to the terminal in downtown Windsor, then Route 15 southbound via the terminal at Devonshire Mall around Windsor Airport to the hospital on CR42.
- • Route 14 southbound to the East End Terminal, then Route 160 around Windsor Airport to the hospital on CR42.
Other combinations exist, but they would require at least two bus transfers.
