Service Changes and Updates

I will let one of you do the deep dive.

2 biggest changes:

Route 4 now splitting to Route 6 west of the Major Mack bus terminal
91 and 91A combining into 1 route

everything else just mainly schedule adjustments; some on call route changes but doesnt affect many people.

(we seem to have two YRT/VIVA threads. Should we consolidate here or there?)

The obligatory reminder that a large percentage of a small number is still a small number. 6% means something very different on the TTC than on YRT.

Some genuine improvements and lots of runtime changes.

*4 Major Mackenzie will terminate at Major Mackenzie West terminal. Route 6 will operate west, and service on Major Mackenzie will be extended from Pine Valley Drive to Nashville. Note that 6 Major Mackenzie comparisons are to current 4 Major Mackenzie service. All service west of Pine Valley is new.

**I did my best to interpret the blended 91/91A Bayview schedules. I might not have gotten everything. Also note that the blending was not perfect, so I tried to average out headways (actual headways are irregular, because YRT)

Minor schedule adjustments:

• 2 Milliken: one AM trip adjusted for school bell times; one other AM trip adjusted for reasons unclear.
• 7 Martin Grove: one PM trip adjusted for school bell times.
• 18 Bur Oak: four PM trips adjusted to connect to Stouffville GO.
• 32 Aurora South: limited trips on Dunning Drive and Edward Street will end due to a school relocation.
• 90 Leslie: two additional trips added for schools; one trip servicing Beaver Creek terminated.
• 320 Jane Express: "schedule adjustments"
• 360 Wonderland Express: seasonal route changes and cancellations (can't be bothered to look through them)
• 361 Nashville Express: four trip departures adjusted
• School route changes, which I am not wading into
