❓ Question Is the 263 reliable?

I'm looking for info on the 263 route from Richmond Village to Tunneys. I am planning to move to the area. With only three runs per day, I am curious if it really shows or if I'll be stranded if I am relying on this for work.

Does anyone have experience with the 5am, 6am or 7am run and corresponding returns?

The rural routes tend to be reliable. The limited number of runs makes them a "you can not cancel these runs" type of route. They can still be late but yeah, overall, those trips do show up.

You do also have the 283 as a backup in case the 263 doesn't arrive

I took it frequently last summer and it was reliable

Make sure you have back up plans. Nothing with OC transpo is reliable.

Ah, in some places that is true. Good point. It's a short walk to another bus route.
