Folks in the Beaches are saying "anything Liberty Village can do, we can do better." And so crowdfunded transit might be coming to the east side neighbourhood as well. A trial shuttle service from Liberty Village to Union Station recently became a long term transit option for residents in an around King and Dufferin, which has other neighbourhoods following suit.

While Line 6 Transit, the team behind the Liberty Village service, has targeted the Beaches as a priority neighbourhood to bring crowdfunded transit to, they're not alone in trying to alleviate commuter headaches. Local resident Jon Chaisson has put together a plan for a commuter service from Queen East to downtown.

The specifics are still being debated, it would seem, but it looks like $260 a month will buy residents a spot on a shuttle that leaves the Beaches at 6:15am, 7:15am 8:15am, and 9:15am, and returns at 4:15pm, 5:15pm, 6:15pm, and 7:15pm. Routing could change on account of planned construction on Eastern Avenue, but this map gives a rough idea of what the service would be like. The pricing would also drop if the shuttle proved popular.

What do you think? Does the Beaches need crowdfunded transit?
