I'm suggesting they terminate Route 2 at Sunrise Centre in the West and Mill/Borden Station in the East order to keep the most useful portion of the route while also cutting the number of buses it takes to serve the area in half. The Eastern part of Route 2 is mirrored by Route 205 on Ottawa St and the Western part is very suburban and mostly served by Route 1 with direct connections with both Downtown and The Boardwalk with 15 minute peak and Sunday service.
Thanks for the heads-up about this. I've submitted a comment suggesting that they end the route at the Aud on the east end (ideally with a stop right on East/Eugene George Way - how do we not have better transit to our main events building?) and at the Fischer-Hallman/Highland plaza on the west end (which would still provide a connection to those in Forest Heights who use route 1 to leave their neighbourhood). It trims up the route by maybe 30-40%, and doesn't leave any massive holes in connectivity.
