Route 7 and Route 200 detours
Posted on Monday April 10, 2017
The detours for the Route 7 and 200 are expected to end in September, and both routes will return to King Street at that time.
There are several reasons that these routes have stayed on detour routing when other routes have returned to King Street:
- The 7 and 200 are significant detours that involve schedule adjustments. They also affect operator schedules, meaning the routes can only be taken off detour during a seasonal service change.
- Construction work continues on the integrated shelters, at stops where GRT buses connect to ION trains. This means there isn’t a safe place for buses to stop and passengers to board.
- While most of King Street has reopened, work is still continuing on the King Street grade separation and there are periodic closures for ION work.
