The only on road section along the route that is 60km/h is King North by Conestoga mall and Northfield. The distance is approx 1.3km so 2.6km/both ways.
2.6 mins if going the speed limit or 3.1 mins if going 50km/h its pretty insignificant.
Courtland I would consider off road but I do think it crawls far slower than 70km/h (or even 50km/h)
As was mentioned turns are very slow but I feel that the biggest time waste is the signal signal timing. I see the LRVs waiting for lights so often in the urban sections, specifically near stops. If this could be eliminated so that the schedule wasn't so conservative around them and there was true signal priority a fair bit could be cut off the trip time. They should be running it with a frequent schedule rather than trying to keep schedule adherence. If the vehicles were frequent enough they just would have to look at avoiding bunching rather than scheduled time adherence.
