Rapidway

Viva Pink operates on the Highway 7 Rapidway between Richmond Hill Centre and Post Road stops. The rapidway is expected to be extended to Unionville GO Station in 2021.[5]

A rapidway was proposed to serve the remainder of the route however this project was abandoned in favour of the potential Yonge North subway extension between Finch and Richmond Hill Centre.[5]
