York Region Transit
Encyclopedia
York Region Transit is the public transit operator in York Region, Ontario
, Canada. Its headquarters are in Richmond Hill
, at 50 High Tech Road.
YRT operates 65 full time, rush hour and limited routes, 35 school services, 5 Viva rapid transit
routes and utilizes 14 Toronto Transit Commission
(TTC) routes that run within York Region's boundaries. TTC passengers who cross Steeles Avenue
(the Toronto-York boundary) must pay an additional fare (the YRT fare) to continue on that route (in practical sense, the TTC bus becomes a YRT bus when it crosses Steeles Avenue).
Some YRT routes operate within the City of Toronto
; these buses are generally running to and from TTC subway stations. YRT northbound buses are allowed to pick up passengers south of Steeles Avenue if they are heading into York Region (but passengers must flag the bus from a designated TTC or YRT stop). YRT buses heading to a TTC subway station can similarly drop off passengers at designated stops south of Steeles Avenue, but are usually not permitted to pick up passengers from these stops (with the exception of York University).
In mid-2006, the York Region Transit (YRT) logo was modified to bear closer resemblance to the Viva logo and, by most of the YRT fleet and bus stop signs had their looks changed to bear the new colours.
These two routes were operated by Stock using three mini (18 seat) school buses bearing YRT logos and route signage. The original operator was Student Express Limited (2001-2004).
(BRT) system along the Yonge Street and Highway 7 arterial corridors. This service, known as Viva, was launched in September 2005.
Construction on Phase 2 began in 2009, with the construction of a bus-only roadway parallel to Enterprise Drive. Construction of bus-only lanes on Highway 7 began in 2010, and construction on Yonge Street is expected to be started 2012.
On October 23, 2008, the York Region
council passed fare increases for York Region Transit and Viva services effective January 1, 2009. The fare hike makes YRT bus fares the most expensive in the nation, along with Ottawa's OC Transpo
.
Beginning January 1, 2009, YRT and Viva's fares are as follows:
The PRESTO Card is available for use starting July 18th, 2011 and fares are equivalent to one ticket. The Presto Card cannot be used on TTC routes serving York Region even if travelling entirely within York Region, as the TTC has not integrated with the Presto card system. GO fare integration is also not supported for Route 69 (operated by GO Transit on behalf of YRT); GO fares will be charged on that route instead.
Tickets purchased at certain stores are unvalidated, and are validated for boarding a bus or Viva by inserting the ticket into a slot at the side of Viva stations.
The intitial fleet consisted of buses from previous York Region operators, but has since been expanded with YRT-bought vehicles.
For Viva bus fleet, see Viva (bus rapid transit)

.
GO Shuttle routes are intended to transport commuters to (in mornings) and from (in afternoons) from GO stations for a cash fare of 50 cents, with proof of GO fare. Prior to the spring of 2007, afternoon GO Shuttle routes could not officially pick up any passengers after leaving the GO station. That policy has been changed and the routes may now pick up other passengers, but the special discounted fare does not apply - such passengers must abide by the regular YRT fare rules. As these routes provide connections to and from GO stations, they are subject to changes with GO operations and could even be cancelled if there are no GO passengers needing the service. The YRT does not encourage the routes for local travel and has only recently started publicizing their availability.

Zones
YRT is divided into three fare zones (Zone 1, 2, and 3) with the boundary being the Oak Ridges Moraine (between the King Road Vivastation and the Bloomington Road Vivastation) and Ravenshoe Road; the zone rule is that a one-zone fare is needed for a trip that starts or ends within the boundaries, and a two-zone fare is needed for a trip that passes completely through the boundary. Because there is no route that exists that passes through all three zones, all trips are two-zone, unless a transfer is made. Also, there is only one route which passes and Zone 2-3 boundary, which is Route 69 - Sutton GO Bus.Tickets purchased at certain stores are unvalidated, and are validated for boarding a bus or Viva by inserting the ticket into a slot at the side of Viva stations.

GO Shuttle routes are intended to transport commuters to (in mornings) and from (in afternoons) from GO stations for a cash fare of 50 cents, with proof of GO fare. Prior to the spring of 2007, afternoon GO Shuttle routes could not officially pick up any passengers after leaving the GO station. That policy has been changed and the routes may now pick up other passengers, but the special discounted fare does not apply - such passengers must abide by the regular YRT fare rules. As these routes provide connections to and from GO stations, they are subject to changes with GO operations and could even be cancelled if there are no GO passengers needing the service. The YRT does not encourage the routes for local travel and has only recently started publicizing their availability.
