20 years of DRT: Share your views

As we celebrate 20 years of service in Durham Region, we want to know about your experience with Durham Region Transit (DRT).

More than buses, routes and schedules — we want to know how easy the system is to recognize, understand, and navigate through signage, maps; and what you see, hear, and experience?
