It's a new way of seeing YRT/Viva
We've redesigned our system map! The new YRT/Viva system map features a revised layout and enlarged fonts that meet York Region's Accessibility Plan.
North vs. South
Routes serving southern York Region are shown on one side while routes serving northern York Region are on the other. This allowed us to zoom in on these areas and display more details, such as side streets and more street labels, while reducing information congestion.
GO Shuttle and Express services are not shown on this map. They now have their own detailed maps online and can be viewed at yrt.ca/maps/shuttle-express
Routes & Availability directory
We’ve reduced the number of service line styles shown on the map. The new Routes & Availability directory (located on the northern York Region side) shows you the days your route is in service, what side of the map you’ll find it on and whether your route is accessible.
New base map
We’ve used a new base map derived from the most accurate Geographic Information System (GIS) that allows us to show all streets, municipal boundaries and points of interest. Colour tints also help to categorize general land use.
We want to hear from you
While designing this new map, we’ve taken into consideration the customer feedback we’ve received through the years. Continue to send us your comments so that we can keep making improvements.

A limited number of printed copies are currently being distributed at municipal displays and YRT/Viva events. Full distribution of the redesigned map will begin in April with the 2010 spring/summer system map.
