The Yonge Street Rapidway is a bus rapid transit corridor on Yonge Street in York Region, Canada. Construction of the Yonge Street portion of the network began in 2014.^[2]

The Yonge Street Rapidway is central to the Vivanext transport masterplan and will eventually extend from the Richmond Hill/Langstaff Urban Growth Centre at Highway 7 to Green Lane in East Gwillimbury.^[1]

In February 2010, a public open house was held for the first segment of the Yonge Street Rapidway, which will extend from Mulock to Davis Drive in Newmarket.^[3]

It is expected that the section from the Newmarket Bus Terminal to Mulock Drive and 19th Avenue to the Richmond Hill Centre Terminal will be completed in late 2019 and late 2020, respectively.^[1]

The corridor was originally intended to continue south of Richmond Hill Centre Terminal towards Finch Bus Terminal. However, with the anticipated northward extension of the Yonge–University subway, the rapidway will start north of Richmond Hill Centre.^[4]

Stations

Excluding the terminals, there will be 20 rapidway stations between Newmarket and Richmond Hill.
