Service begins on a new regular-fare express “rocket” route, replacing most express service on the 39 FINCH EAST bus. Buses on the 199 FINCH ROCKET operate between Finch station on the YONGE SUBWAY and Scarborough Centre station on the SCARBOROUGH RT via east on Finch, south on McCowan and west on Triton, returning via reverse route.
In between Finch and Scarborough Centre, buses stop only at Bayview, Leslie, Don Mills (far side), Seneca Hill Drive (Seneca College), Victoria Park, Pharmacy, Warden, Birchmount, Kennedy, Midland, Brimley, Finch and McCowan, and McCowan and Sheppard.
Service operates weekdays from 6:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
