Grand River Transit
This is the terminal closure notice. In addition to sandwich boards like this it’s probably on almost half of the posts and vertical surfaces in the terminal.

Similar posters are up at Forest Glen and Highland Hills, indicating where to board buses otherwise.

Updated since this morning. (Raw data is here in case anyone cares.)

The Transit App now has updated schedules.

Another big plus with the coming change: earlier Sunday service! Right now the earliest 201 from Forest Glen is at 8:15 AM; its equivalent on the new schedule is at 7:10!

I don't think all of the new schedules are in the Transit App yet, because I gave it a try and it came up with a horrible commute. The Easy Go trip planner has better data for now.

Noticed a bus this morning had a notice on the route changes on the front lcd board this morning.

Are the GO buses going to keep using the Charles Street terminal for now?

AFAIK all intercity buses will continue to serve Charles Terminal until the new multi-modal transit station is built.

Correct. Intercity bus rides will depart from Charles Street (and the other stops) until the new transit station at Victoria opens up.

If you could use a fold-out full-city map of the new services, they're now available at Charles Terminal.

This edition is even free of charge!

I observed GRT buses not stopping at train tracks as previously discussed. I guess it's in effect now. Yay!

When was it supposed to come into effect? And was it going to be all tracks?

On the 200 yesterday, my bus stopped at the tracks on Northfield, may not have stopped at the tracks at University (not sure- sometimes they do a more fulsome stop, even briefly opening the doors), and then did stop in Uptown.

Effective date wasn't clear to me. I thought it was all tracks with gates? I saw 2 buses at University and Laurel Trail not stop.
