The Yonge Street Rapidway is a Canadian bus rapid transit system proposed by Vivanext for the Yonge Street corridor in York. Construction of the Yonge Street portion of the network began in 2014.^[2]

The Yonge Street rapidway is central to the Vivanext plan and will eventually extend north along Yonge Street from Richmond Hill/Langstaff Urban Growth Centre at Highway 7 to Green Lane in Newmarket.^[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 2018.^[1]

South of Richmond Hill Centre Terminal, the corridor to Finch Bus Terminal will be replaced with an extension of the Yonge-University line.^[4]

Stations

There will be 11 rapidway stations in Newmarket and Richmond Hill to be opened in 2018 and 9 more rapidway stations south of Newmarket into Aurora and north of Richmond Hill to be added later.
