Rapidway
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". Viva Pink operated 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 Template:Stl and Richmond Hill Centre.[5]
