Note that the memo detailing these changes was issued before Line 6 Finch opened, and therefore contains no info about that route.
Run as Directed Buses
The assignment of 600 RAD buses by division is shown in the chart below:
On New Year’s Eve, there will be many Run as Directed vehicles:
Fleet Allocations
eBus Compatibility
This table shows the proportion of scheduled service that cannot be operated with eBuses because the length of the the runs exceeds the range of these vehicles.

This may be unrelated to the post, but is there a map which shows where bus routes overlap? For example, down certain sections of Dufferin, where the 929, 29 and other routes traverse them?
Steve: The system map which is available on this page shows all of the details. You can zoom in on the map to see the details clearly.

I also find it stupid that the 129A doesn’t get extended new year’s service considering that contracted YRT a busy route like it’s peer routes in Peel and Durham regions. Many would use that route after they get home from the new year’s celebrations
