You are correct that the detour around UW slows down that route. The long term plan is to remove this detour and have people transfer to the 98 which would run in a continuous loop. This might yet never happen since the LRT might make the whole thing moot.
For that case yes. On the other hand from Fairview to Wilfrid Laurier the iXpress is 20% faster.
Lastly, I'll say it again, when the iXpress first came in it was substantially faster than any of the route 7s. What has happened since is (1) less stops on regular routes (2) infill stops on the iXpress (3) increased ridership on the iXpress making stops slower.
Quote:7C would have been faster and more direct without the moniker 'express'.
