Up Kingsway, turn onto Weber at Fresh co and stay on Weber skipping the terminal
The 200 is being scrapped, but I wish there would be a Weber route as you describe, local or express. Even with lots of stops, it could be very fast.
A Weber express bus would make 100% sense... EXCEPT Weber is seen by the Region as the vehicular parallel alternative to the ION route. That's why it was widened, repaved, etc in recent years. They will not add a north-south Weber route because they would see it as competing for ION, even though it would serve different needs. They're very stubborn about this, but I'm sure we can keep asking for it until it happens.
