Yeah, to be honest, the 7 is really a mess of a route as is. You have buses with labels that aren't even relevant until they branch off at King/University 45 minutes later. Connaughts and Wilsons depart from the same platform at Fairview, but there is no way to tell the difference by looking at the label on the bus.
Even using letters at all is confusing for people new to the system. Does this bus go to Connestoga Mall? The stop I'm at just says "7", but the bus coming says "7E". Oh, wait, I'm supposed to wait at the "7" stop at King/Columbia, not the "7" stop at Columbia/King?
With the possible exception of people downtown being able to directly access stops on Wilson, things will be much better when the 7ABF is busted up into the 7, 18, and 2, and when the 7DE becomes the 92.
