I though it was an LRT system then noticed it uses dedicated bus lanes with stations. Would this be a Rapid Bus System? I wonder why they went this direction and not with an LRT system.

This will allow them to convert to LRT without totally rebuilding a BRT and an LRT. They can also connect this by building out, east-west or west-east from the Yonge Street/BRT foci right of way.

Secondly there is no clearly defined city that this rapid transit could or would run through because of the urban sprawl development model York Region has used over the last 40 years.
