Riders will not transfer at STC and this will recoup some of the travel time that would otherwise be lost enroute.There are advantages, depending on your outlook, in each model.

Customers will have the fastest and most reliable journey with this option.Īlthough conversion of the right-of-way for BRT is more expensive, this option will provide superior service reliability and travel time by getting buses out of traffic for most of their route. Why this option performed well in our evaluation: This option performs the best under the criteria of customer experience, neighbourhood and community impact, and equity. On street operation from STC to Kennedy Station using a mixture of Brimley, Midland and Kennedy (see map below).On street operation from STC to Kennedy Station using Brimley and Midland as a one-way pair with buses running southbound on one and northbound on the other.


There are three options still on the table, but option 1 will be recommended to the Board. In January 2022, staff will take their recommendation to the TTC Board. Many variations were scored, but only a few made it through to the final selection. In July, I wrote about the first round of consultations and option evaluations in What Bus Service Will Replace the SRT? Please refer to that article for information about the original long list of options.
