Green Lane Rapidway

The Green Lane Rapidway is a proposed bus rapid transit extension in Newmarket and East Gwillimbury, Ontario. It does not have a committed schedule under the Vivanext plan. It is listed in Metrolinx's regional transportation for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, The Big Move under the 25-year plan.[1] It will extend from Davis Drive (Regional Road 31) west of Yonge, then north along Yonge Street (York Regional Road 1) from Davis Drive to Green Lane, then from Yonge Street in the west along Green Lane East (Regional Road 19) to the East Gwillimbury GO Station just east of Main Street North (Regional Road 34) in the east.

  • Newmarket Terminal
  • Davis Drive (at Yonge Street)
  • Bonshaw Avenue (at Yonge Street)
  • Green Lane North (at Yonge Street)
  • East Gwillimbury GO Station (east of Main Street North)
gollark: The shield generator.
gollark: I estimate that the power supply for it will fail by maybe tomorrow.
gollark: Well, not crash, be booted off.
gollark: Oh, you would just crash too.
gollark: So it should run out reasonably fast, actually.
