The TTC bylaws regarding the use of transfers are Draconian, nonsensical and business unfriendly.

And of course the other exception that particular bus has is that is
IS allowed to pick up at downsview and drop off at york university,
which other YRT busses can't do until they cross steeles.  Not that any
other YRT bus goes to downsview that I know of.  I think they all go to
funch station instead, or don mills station.

Always fun with exceptions.

Yeah I know.  Silly name.  It's a Walmart, Lowe's, futureshop, a few
hotels, Ikea, some pubs, a movie theatre, and Toromont pretty much.
