Buses start at [[Stouffville GO Station]] in the AM, circle Stouffville via Millard, 10th Line and Hoover Park, then operates express down 9th Line to end at [[York Region Transit Markham-Stouffville Hospital terminal|Markham-Stouffville Hospital]] where passengers transfer to route 1 or VIVA Purple to complete the trip to their respective school. In the PM, buses reverse the routing, following the same clockwise looping.

414 is a very unique school special; it is unique because not only does it not directly stop at or near the high school, it serves the students of (forcing them to transfer to 1 or VIVA Purple), it also serves '''two ''different''''' high schools on the same run. This is made possible because of the earlier point.
