yes but they been pushed back to 2024 due to no terminals can handle them like Conestoga Station.

Are there plans to expand the terminals soon to accommodate? Like any concrete plans or dates? Thank you

do you know how many? sry for being nosy

6 Electric and 35 Hybrid, 41 total... Unless my read and math is wrong...

Chargers are plug-in and not overhead though. Kind of disappointing.

So any word on the following:

(1) a new bus terminal for Conestoga College Doon...is that ever happening?

(2) a new replacement bus terminal when the new Canadian Tire is finished construction at Conestoga Mall?

Anyone have any info on these, possibly?

It seems like GRT has scrubbed all reference to this project off its website so there may be some truth to what @Transit 20 has reported above. However, EngageWR indicates that a report to council for approval is due this fall, followed by detailed design in 2024 and construction in 2025.

Lots of riders, lots of crowding...any talk/whispers of any changes to routes/service frequency to deal with some of it?

I think personally the 16 should be all day 15 minute frequency, like the 12 and 8...it seems to be a very well used route now.

It looks like the link above has now been updated. The Region is seeking public input regarding an updated design for the proposed transit hub at Conestoga College.

At first glance, not much has seemed to have changed, aside from the addition of a drivers facility. Overall layout remains the same.
