Description

Description

During the construction of the Stage 1 Confederation Line, where the existing Transitway is closed for conversion to rail, the City is ensuring the optimization and accessibility of the current public transit service through the provision of high quality rapid transit service on parallel corridors. The bus detours ensure a consistent user experience through the transition to light rail. These detours also help to maintain the existing transit modal split and maintain the efficiency, accessibility and safety of public transit service during construction. This will bolster customers’ confidence in the service, ensuring that residents remain transit customers through the multiple years of transition to the new rail technology.
