Route Details

The routing of route 50

Route 50 was a peak period route that ran from Brirannia to downtown during peak periods. Service operated Monday to Friday from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM (AM peak) and 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM (PM peak).

History

August 29th, 1999

Route is extended to Lakeside Gardens (Britannia Park) so that all trips can serve Britannia and Cassels. This was to resolve a problem where buses would wait at Bradford and Cassels in the morning; a very narrow roadway that could cause road blockage for the local neighbourhood. This also will result in a shorter trip for the northern portion of the community of Britannia.

September 6th, 2009

Route is cancelled and replaced by Route 2 on Richmond and Route 16 in Britannia Village with extra trips on both routes during peak periods.

 ==Route Details==

-Not accounting for the 2 number changes it got (<span style="color:red">'''10'''</span> -> <span style="color:red">'''90'''</span> -> <span style="color:red">'''50'''</span>) it pretty much had identical routing to when it was originally created. It was adjusted to run via the Parkway & Transitway instead of just Richmond, Holland, Scott, then downtown once the Baseline - Westboro portion of the Transitway was opened in 1983. In 1987 it was extended to serve Hurdman station rather than just Campus station, and in 1999 had it's terminus changed to Britannia Park, other than that this route didn't change a bit.
