York Region Transit is making changes to a couple of bus routes running through Vaughan this year.

One of those routes is the 22A King City, which provides weekday service between the Newmarket GO bus terminal and York University via Yonge Street, King Road and Keele Street.

That route will see an earlier morning trip added to meet increased demand, Adrian Kawun, ‎YRT’s manager of service planning, told Vaughan councillors Tuesday, Jan. 17.

The other route slated for change is 23 Thornhill Woods, which provides service between the Finch GO bus terminal and Teston Road during weekday rush-hour periods and between Rutherford Road and the Promenade terminal during weekday midday and evening periods.

YRT is altering the rush-hour route, north of Rutherford Road, to run along Thomas Cook Avenue and Via Romano Boulevard once the local road network has been completed, Kawun said.

The change affects roughly 30 customers along Bathurst Street who will have to walk up to 750 metres farther to catch the bus, according to YRT.

YRT is also eliminating service on this route after 10 p.m., which impacts about six customers who will be forced to walk up to one kilometre farther to get on a bus.
