I don’t think the detour justifies the potential cost of a shuttle service. Nor the number of people it affects (I’m one of them, but I think it’s not a huge number). It’s only eight weeks that Duke will be closed, at least as scheduled.
The iXpress stops on either side of the detour aren’t particularly close- King at Victoria and Weber at Guelph currently, maybe as far as Uptown when the King/Union intersection is open- and GRT would probably not be willing to slow the service for everyone accommodating fareless passengers between two stops.
