In an effort to connect residents to popular destinations in York Region, York Region Transit/VIVA has announced service changes effective Sept. 3.

Students travelling between York University and the Richmond Hill Centre Terminal will have an increase in the frequency of trips on VIVA Purple. Schedules for bus routes 85/85C (Rutherford) and 87 (Autumn Hill) have been adjusted to improve connections with GO train timings at the Rutherford GO Station.

Residents travelling to Canada's Wonderland or Vaughan Mills Mall will have extended service for route 760 during the Halloween Haunt and Black Friday. However, regular weekday service for the route has been suspended until summer 2018.

Special routes for high school students have also been updated.

All 400-series special school routes will be reinstated for the start of the school year. They include route 400 (Brother Andre School Special via Raymerville), route 401 (Brother André School Special via Box Grove), and route 432 (Aurora School Special).

Route 401 will improve service for students living in the Kenilworth Gate area. Route 432 introduces a new route with a direct connection to Aurora High School.

Route 463 (Vellore School Special) has been discontinued because of low ridership.
