Quote:BICYCLES ARE WELCOME.
Our vehicles can accommodate up to two bicycles per trip, allowing you to extend the zero-emission journey throughout the community. We’ll ask you to lift your own bike into place, and we’ll work with you to ensure all the restraints are in place. Please remember to remove anything that might come loose during the trip! Always travel with your bike – the bicycle owner must be on board the same trip. If you are cycling, please don’t pass a Wroute vehicle on the right-hand side except in a marked bike lane.

Service expanded to WR Airport, U Guelph, The Butterfly Conservatory, Aldershot GO, and Mapleview Shopping Centre.

Great news indeed!  Especially the GO Connection gives them another option for getting to Toronto.  I do wonder/hope that it will show up in Google Maps since that's the only way I would be able to figure out if the timing worked well for my trips, it also continues to be a premium priced service, which is fine.

I will however ding CBC here, as there does exist public transit options between KW and Hamilton, via Megabus...which, despite cutbacks, does still exist.

if you search for Fairway Station in Google Maps you will get the actual stops (that are not publicly editable as they are controlled by an external API) rather than some location that was created by a person with a name that isn't even accurate.
