Stop Placement During Detours
During detours, routes are chosen according to the following criteria:
- Time and gas savings
- Impact on users (distance, proximity to existing stops, wheelchair accessibility, etc.)
- Enough space for buses to wait and turn around
Use the stops on the normal route at either end of a detour. If the walking distance is too far, temporary stops are installed.
Stops located in the detour zone are not in service. Please clearly signal to the driver that you want to board the bus.
