YRT has released their 2025 service initiatives. Pretty substantial service increase, with major frequency improvements, new on demand services, and new school specials.
Unfortunately YRT remains allergic to clock face scheduling and timing buses for GO trains.

A top level look at the proposed service changes.

Its a nice step in the right direction for YRT standards. Still a long way to go but them finally acknowledging Sunday as an actual day people still use transit for is good to see.

Its an increase in service hours of just over 4%, and there are some tangible improvements, but I would still describe this as wholly inadequate and underwhelming. An increase of twice this size would be a place to start the conversation.
I mean when you see Martingrove is getting a headway improvement to 45M between buses..............sigh. Yes, its a real improvement, but less than 30M service is well and truly anemic.
I'd like them to at least commit to rolling out the full 15M Frequent Network in rush hours as a starting point and to commit to a minimum 30M in the off peak on those same routes (without reducing any service that is better than that).

...and 24-hour service.
I did leave two comments (one each for Route 20 and 98/99) on the interactive map for the first time though, and they're getting a good number of likes.

The projected ridership is a bit underwhelming. I was expecting 26-27 million with the introduction of One Fare (and it really should be 35 million if York Region was serious about transit).

Fare changes coming July 1, 2024
In December 2023, York Regional Council approved the 2024 budget effective on July 1, 2024. This is the first fare increase since 2019 and will help to address the rising costs of running the transit system.

This could wipe out most of the ridership gain from One Fare. Also there should at least be an effort to keep adult fares below $4 ($3.95 may only be a 5-cent difference, but psychological pricing means it seems much bigger)

September Service Changes are up:
www.yrt.ca
Rather than format my own list of the changes, I will borrow the one made by GTAmissions1 over at CPTDB
Great job by GTAmissions1 in sorting through all that.
Have to say, overall, I'm not impressed by YRT's moves, a few good expansions of span of service, but some major road, mid-day service is less than hourly............yikes!

25 interlines with route 4 which is much more frequent. i guess theres simply not enough ridership west of woodbine to justify more....
then again theres nothing built north of MM east of woodbine:
lets see what happens in the next 10 years but so far theres absolutely no reason to have frequent service passing through semi rural lands.

Hoping to see 24-hour service on routes 20 and 98/99 in 2025.
