Wow that new #16 is convoluted.
So they have a #30 circular on ring road but they won't let the 202 on ring road?
It looks like they've finally added iXpress stop at University @ King, but they have left the stop at University @ Hazel.
Why not move the Hazel stop to Albert then there is a stop at both ends of the WLU campus.
Plus, if they can't the 202 to the UW transit station then why not adjust the iXpress stops to be at near university@westmount/Waterloo Park station/Albert/King then if you need to get to all the shops on University or the east side of campus you just walk the 500m or transfer to the NB Ion.
I will miss my direct/one bus (#8) to UW, but I guess it is better for the good of the "network."
Here is a text summary from the survey page:
Highlights of changes based on your feedback:
Route 200/ION Bus: Sunday service would be improved to run every 15 minutes during the day, to match ION LRT service levels.
Route 7: Following concerns about frequency, Route 7 would run every 15 minutes all day along the entire route. During weekday peak periods, Route 7 would run every 7-8 minutes between Uptown Waterloo and Conestoga Mall.
Route 10: We received some feedback about the loss of neighbourhood service in the area of Old Mill Road, Pinnacle Drive and Doon Valley Drive. We’re proposing two options for service on Route 10, and asking for feedback on which would better address people’s travel needs.
Route 16: To address feedback about service frequency and connections, Route 16 would be extended to Uptown Waterloo, providing better connections to ION and other routes. The route would also operate on Hoffman Street between Ottawa Street and Highland Road East, to provide improved coverage to that neighbourhood and closer access to Mill Station. During weekday peak periods, Route 16 would operate every 15 minutes between Ottawa Street and Uptown Waterloo.
Route 73: Based on the feedback received, Route 73 would provide service to the Northlake neighbourhood every 30 minutes, with an extension to Rideau River Street. The route was also revised for a better connection with Northfield ION Station.
Route 76: To address concerns about access to service in Doon South, Route 76 would be extended to provide service further into the neighbourhood.
We have also made a number of smaller changes and revisions based on the feedback provided during our fall consultations.

Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
