The 2 Barton is one of the highest-frequency buses in the system... possibly the highest frequency single line since the various 5s and 1s are somewhat balkanized. Yes, it stops extremely frequently, bunches together and misses its schedule, and what nobody wants to admit is that they don't use it because it's fully of sketchy people.

But the city dedicates a tremendous amount of buses to that route.

As for cycling, I bike here almost daily. The Cannon track gets you close, but the problem is that the new parking-lot on Wellington is difficult to navigate from Ferguson, Victoria's northbound-only bike lane starts at Barton and not Cannon (why not???) and whoever keeps putting Barton on the city's cycling maps has taken a vacation from reality.

I would describe cycling as "almost doable".

Long term the city will have to think about a north-south bus there, since there will be a B-line LRT stop at Victoria (currently one of the larger gaps in the B-line express) and the 12-Wentworth is a joke.
