So I confirmed with a 204 driver this morning the eastbound stops at queen/homewood and queen/Brock. The new 1, 2, and 204 will use the new stop at queen/Brock while the 8 will continue to use the existing stop at queen/homewood.
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.

Anyone else notice that they added the King at Victoria stop on the 200 again? This must be the first day. Very glad they readded this stop.

I had a look at them, and on the signposts, I saw: (eastbound) Brock: 204, 1, 2, 8 (I didn't get a close look, but it was an iXpress post with 3 additional routes) Homewood: 1, 2, 8 (unchanged) The stops are just as ridiculously close together as it looks like on a map.

Yeah I'm 100% certain! The automated announcement announced it. Plus there was one of the iXpress stop signs that says the 6, 204 and 200 stop there. The 200 didn't stop or announce Joseph at water. The bus went down Weber, right on Victoria, left on king, right on Ontario. But if you look at the fall schedule, the Victoria stop isn't listed.

Thanks for the confirmation! I'm very glad to hear that. Hopefully the GRT amends the schedule.

Has anyone ever gotten a tour of the new(ish) facility GRT built over in the Laurentian Power Centre area? It's such a beautiful building (those clerestory windows are fantastic); I'd love to see the inside some day.

You should suggest it to the Doors Open folks.

Ridership to Conestoga College is apparently significantly higher this year - the frequency on the 110 is being increased from every 30 mins to every 20.

This Fall broke records at Conestoga Doon Campus for enrolment numbers I was told. That would explain the influx of usage at Doon.

Makes sense to use an existing brand. Would be nice to have the Ion logo on there as well; perhaps it will be on the back?

Maybe they will put it on in 2 years when service starts.
