I only mentioned it cause I see them being listed for OnDemand as well. @J. Hollingsworth Do you know if DRT plans to reinstate the 600 series Uxbridge routes (the ones that went to Pickering) as well as maybe having a route that connects to YRT Cornell Terminal (which was supposedly route 930)?

At this time, I highly doubt DRT has plans for any reinstatement of the 601, or 603, but who knows As for Cornell, a route is planned that will travel from Pickering Parkway Terminal to Cornell via Kingston, Brock, Taunton, Whites Road and Highway 7 though no number is assigned to this route anymore.

Gamer Studios Posted September 2, 2022 Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 DRT has now slapped the "HYBRID" word on their LFS HEVs in a similar fashion they do to the PULSE buses. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamer Studios Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 Starting Tuesday, I noticed there will now be 3 branches of the 901 PULSE Simcoe. 901 (main), 901B (Oshawa Center) and 901C. It's quite confusing how it works as some 901B/901c will start/terminate at durham college north campus but others will start/terminate at windsfield farm drive. Also the interlines are changing such as some runs on the 920 will interline with the 423. The 319 will be part of some interlines on the 302A. There's also one other notable interline. There's a morning 211 run that will interline on the 110/120. Also they seem to be consolidating the 410 as it's own run (with the exception of morning).

Gamer Studios Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 If anyone noticed, DRT has been omitting route names throughout the entire system now. It looks weird in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
